Plant-microbiota interactions as a driver of the mineral Turnover in the Rhizosphere
(Academic Press Inc., 2016)A major challenge facing agriculture in the 21st century is the need to increase the productivity of cultivated land while reducing the environmentally harmful consequences of mineral fertilization. The microorganisms ... -
Small-scale biomass gasification CHP systems: Comparative performance assessment and monitoring experiences in South Tyrol (Italy)
(2016)During the last years, there was an increasing interest in small-scale biomass gasification system for combined heat and power (CHP) generation in South-Tyrol (Italy). The large number of plants based on various technologies ... -
Silicon dynamics in the rhizosphere: Connections with iron mobilization
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2016)Silicon (Si) is a beneficial element for plants as it increases their resistance to several biotic and abiotic stresses. In the rhizosphere, root exudates, especially when released by nutritionally stressed plants, promote ... -
Characterization of plant growth promoting traits of bacterial isolates from the rhizosphere of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) grown under Fe sufficiency and deficiency
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2016)Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) are considered a promising approach to replace the conventional agricultural practices, since they have been shown to affect plant nutrient-acquisition processes by influencing nutrient ... -
Indirect effect of glyphosate on wine fermentation studied by microcalorimetry
(Springer Netherlands, 2016)The use of herbicide such as glyphosate is a common practice in viticulture to limit nutrients and water competition between vine/weed plants. However, the impact of such herbicide on the resulting grapes juice quality ... -
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 ...
