Modulation of Fe acquisition process by Azospirillum brasilense in cucumber plants
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)Despite being fairly abundant in soils, iron (Fe) represent one of the major constraints for plants growth and productivity, due to its low solubility. The possible contribution of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria ... -
Copper accumulation in vineyard soils: Rhizosphere processes and agronomic practices to limit its toxicity
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)Viticulture represents an important agricultural practice in many countries worldwide. Yet, the continuous use of fungicides has caused copper (Cu) accumulation in soils, which represent a major environmental and toxicological ... -
Physiological Changes in Maize Grown in Soil with Copper and Zinc Accumulation Resulting from the Addition of Pig Slurry and Deep Litter over 10 Years
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)The aim of the present study was to evaluate if increased Cu and Zn concentrations in soils, as a consequence of distribution at the field level for 10 consecutive years of pig slurry (PS) and pig deep litter (DL), would ... -
The characterization of the adaptive responses of durum wheat to different Fe availability highlights an optimum Fe requirement threshold
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2016)Plant mechanisms responding to iron (Fe) deficiency have been widely described; it is well known that Strategy II plants, as durum wheat, cope with this stress by increasing both the synthesis and secretion of phytosiderophores ... -
Selenium Biofortification in Fragaria x ananassa: Implications on Strawberry Fruits Quality, Content of Bioactive Health Beneficial Compounds and Metabolomic Profile
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2017)Selenium (Se) is an essential nutrient for humans, due to its antioxidant properties, whereas, to date, its essentiality to plants still remains to be demonstrated. Nevertheless, if added to the cultivation substrate, ... -
Terbuthylazine interferes with iron nutrition in maize (Zea mays) plants
(2017)Many chemicals, including herbicides, are routinely applied to crops for weed management and food production improvement. However, the intensive use of herbicides could lead eventually to a great environmental threat due ... -
Effect of three safeners on sulfur assimilation and iron deficiency response in barley (Hordeum vulgare) plants
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2017)BACKGROUND: Safeners are agrochemicals used in agriculture to protect crops from herbicide injuries. They act by stimulating herbicide metabolism. As graminaceous plants, to cope with iron (Fe) deficiency, activate sulfur ... -
Early transcriptomic response to Fe supply in Fe-deficient tomato plants is strongly influenced by the nature of the chelating agent
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)Background: It is well known that in the rhizosphere soluble Fe sources available for plants are mainly represented by a mixture of complexes between the micronutrient and organic ligands such as carboxylates and ... -
Common reeds (Phragmites australis) as sustainable energy source: experimental and modelling analysis of torrefaction and pyrolysis processes
(2013)The aim of this study is to apply advanced analytical techniques and kinetic modelling to common reeds (Phragmites australis) to characterize its pyrolysis and torrefaction as possible environmental friendly and sustainable ... -
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 ...
