Plant mechanisms contributing to acid impairment of nodulation of Medicago murex and Medicago sativa by Sinorhizobium medicae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The widespread sowing of the perennial forage legume Medicago sativa to lower groundwater tables in south-western Australia is limited as many soils targeted for its use are too acidic (pHCaCl2 < 5) for consistent nodulation with Sinorhizobium spp.

Assessment of the microbial quality of ready-to-eat vegetable salads and berry fruit available on Polish market

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus
The consumption and sale of ready-to-eat products, i.e., fresh-cut vegetable salads and fruit, have been growing tremendously in the present time. Therefore, the microbial safety of such products is of great concern.

Unlocking the Secrets of the Rhizosphere [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Plant Science, 2016
This special issue offers an insightful and wide-ranging set of reviews on one of the fastest-growing areas of plant science today, the rhizosphere (Figure 1). The underground world of the rhizosphere, a narrow region of soil surrounding the plant roots, is a concept that was first coined by Lorenz Hiltner in 1904. Hiltner proposed that the rhizosphere

The ecological hazards of profenofos revealed by soil beneficial-bacteria, plant seedlings, and plasmid nicking assays: A short-term toxicity investigation

open access: yesPlant Stress
Excessive and indiscriminate use of pesticides may adversely affect the growth and activity of both crop plants and soil microbial populations. The reported study was conducted to evaluate the toxicity of profenofos (PF; an organophosphate insecticide ...

BENEFICIAL RHIZOSPHERE PSEUDOMONADS

open access: yesEcological genetics, 2008
Among the many bacteria present on and around the root, Pseudomonas bacteria are (among) the best root colonizers and therefore very suitable to apply for beneficial purposes. In this chapter, we discuss the possibilities to use such bacteria for the following purposes: fertilization of the plant, stimulation of plant growth and yield, reduction of ...

Permafrost thawing by soil transplantation alters the functional genetic potential of the alpine permafrost microbiome

open access: yesGeoderma
Global warming has led to permafrost thawing in mid-latitude alpine regions, resulting in greater availability of carbon (C) and nutrients in soils. However, how these changes will impact the functional genetic potential of permafrost soil microbiomes ...

Insights into enhanced, divergent, and additive responses to single and combined hypoxia-salt stress

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Plants frequently encounter simultaneous stressors, requiring complex adaptive responses across regulatory levels. Although morphological and metabolic effects of combined hypoxia-salt stress are known in halophytes, the transcriptional mechanisms ...

Zinc requirements of transplanted oilseed rape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Transplanting is a common practice for many horticultural crops and some field crops. Recently, transplanted oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) crops have been reported to be sensitive to zinc (Zn) deficiency.

Structural differences between bulk and rhizosphere soil

open access: yes, 2005
The physical characteristics of the soil at the root–soil interface are crucial because they determine both physical aspects of root function such as water and nutrient uptake and the microbial activity that is most relevant to root growth.
