Fertilization strategies as a tool to modify the organoleptic properties of raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)Raspberry cultivation is increasing all over the world, being these fruits highly appreciated not only for their taste but also for their high content in bioactive compounds. However, the short shelf-life of these fruits ... -
Iron Mobilization and Mineralogical Alterations Induced by Iron-Deficient Cucumber Plants (Cucumis sativus L.) in a Calcareous Soil
(SCIENCE PRESS, 2018)Dicotyledons cope with ion (Fe) shortage by releasing low-molecular-weight organic compounds into the rhizosphere to mobilize Fe through reduction and complexation mechanisms. The effects induced by these root exudates on ... -
Mitochondria dysfunctions under Fe and S deficiency: is citric acid involved in the regulation of adaptive responses?
(2018)Within the last years, extensive information has been accumulated on the reciprocal influence between S and Fe nutrition at both physiological and molecular level in several plant species, but the mechanisms regulating S ... -
Growth and chemical changes in the rhizosphere of black oat (Avena strigosa) grown in soils contaminated with copper
(2018)Copper based pesticides are used to protect vineyards from fungal infections. Plants like black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb) can promote chemical changes in the rhizosphere, reducing copper (Cu) bioavailability in contaminated ... -
Does Fe accumulation in durum wheat seeds benefit from improved whole-plant sulfur nutrition?
(2018)Sulfur and iron balanced supply is of paramount importance for plants, since Fe homoeostasis in plants has been shown to be strongly dependent on sulfate availability; vice versa the adaptation to Fe deficiency requires ... -
Photosynthesis and growth of young grapevines intercropped with native grasses in soils contaminated with copper
(2018)High copper (Cu) contents in vineyard soils due to long-term foliage-defense program based on Cu-containing fungicides may cause physiological and nutritional disorders in young grapevines, limiting plant growth and in ... -
Soil amendment as a strategy for the growth of young vines when replanting vineyards in soils with high copper content
(ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 2018)Soil contamination with copper (Cu)-based agrochemicals used in vineyards for pest control is a growing problem. In this context, the application of soil amendment to limit Cu toxicity, especially for young plants after ... -
Nutrient availability in the rhizosphere: A review
(2018)The rhizosphere is the volume of soil where the chemical (pH, redox potential, nutrient concentration and root exudates), physical (temperature, water availability and soil structure) and biological characteristics (microbial ... -
The effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the growth and quality of strawberries
(2018)Several studies have shown the benefits of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on plant mineral nutrition, suggesting their possible application as biofertilizers. PGPR can stimulate plant growth, increase plant ... -
Bioenergy and other High-Value Products to Enhance Soil Fertility and Mitigate Climate Change: The WOOD-UP Project on Woody Biomass Gasification in South-Tyrol
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2018)WOOD-UP is an applied-research project that aims to produce expendable results, with an impact on key sectors (agriculture, energy, environment) of the economy of South-Tyrol (ST). Recent research findings has suggested ...
