Iron deficiency in barley plants: phytosiderophore release, iron translocation, and DNA methylation
(2015)All living organisms require iron (Fe) to carry out many crucial metabolic pathways. Despite its high concentrations in the geosphere, Fe bio-availability to plant roots can be very scarce. To cope with Fe shortage, plants ... -
The effect of lime on the rhizosphere processes and elemental uptake of white lupin
(2015)Acid soils cover 30–40% of the world’s arable land and represent one of the major constraints to agricultural production. Lime is routinely added to soil to improve fertility and to reduce the solubility of elements such ... -
Influence of different trap solutions on the determination of root exudates in Lupinus albus L
(2015)White lupin is very often used as a model plant for root exudation studies due to its capability to release huge amounts of organic acids and flavonoids. The complex nature of these organic compounds makes not only their ... -
Effects of terbuthylazine on phytosiderophores release in iron deficient barley
(2015)One of the main purposes of modern agriculture is to raise crop production by means of a proper application of herbicides. Nonetheless, the use of herbicides is causing some concerns associated to their persistence and ... -
Phosphorus and iron deficiencies induce a metabolic reprogramming and affect the exudation traits of the woody plant Fragaria×ananassa
(2015)Strawberries are a very popular fruit among berries, for both their commercial and economic importance, but especially for their beneficial effects for human health. However, their bioactive compound content is strictly ... -
Selenium fortification of hydroponically grown corn salad (Valerianella locusta)
(2015)There is increasing interest in the hydroponic technology to produce leafy vegetables for ready-to-eat salads. Optimisation of the growing system can lead to higher yield and/or improved nutritional value of the product. ... -
Plant-microorganism-soil interactions influence the Fe availability in the rhizosphere of cucumber plants
(2015)Iron (Fe) is a very important element for plants, since it is involved in many biochemical processes and, often, for the low solubility of the natural Fe sources in soil, plants suffer from Fe deficiency, especially when ... -
Iron allocation in leaves of Fe-deficient cucumber plants fed with natural Fe complexes
(2015)Iron (Fe) sources available for plants in the rhizospheric solution are mainly a mixture of complexes between Fe and organic ligands, including phytosiderophores (PS) and water-extractable humic substances (WEHS). In ... -
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 ...
