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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
