Traceability of different Apple Varieties by Multivariate Analysis of Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry Data
(2015)RATIONALE: The awareness of customers of the origin of foods has become an important issue. The growing demand for foods that are healthy, safe and of high quality has increased the need for traceability and clear labelling. ... -
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 ... -
Foliar application of potassium-based fertilizer improves strawberry fruit quality
(2018)Among the different mineral nutrients, potassium (K) is recognized as the macronutrient that most strongly affects the quality parameters of crops. An adequate K nutrition is in fact associated with increased fruit size, ... -
Assessment of silicon biofortification and its effect on the content of bioactive compounds in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Elsanta’) fruits
(2018)Silicon (Si) is an important element in the human diet, being health beneficial, as it improves the bone formation and decreases the bone fragility. However, this beneficial element is often lacking, leading to nutritional ... -
Role of Azospirillum brasilense in triggering different Fe chelate reductase enzymes in cucumber plants subjected to both nutrient deficiency and toxicity
(ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 2019)Azospirillum brasilense was reported to up-regulate iron (Fe) uptake mechanisms, such as Fe reduction and rhizosphere acidification, in both Fe sufficient and deficient cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.). Strategy I ... -
Time and substrate dependent exudation of carboxylates by Lupinus albus L. and Brassica napus L
(2011)Root exudates influence significantly physical, chemical and biological characteristics of rhizosphere soil. Their qualitative and quantitative composition is affected by environmental factors such as pH, soil type, oxygen ... -
Revisiting Fe/S interplay in tomato: A split-root approach to study the systemic and local responses
(2018)Based on our previous studies demonstrating an intriguing interplay between sulfur (S) and iron (Fe), a split-root experiment was performed to determine whether plant S status and/or S external concentration could modify ... -
Peach rootstock tolerance to excess zinc in sandy acidic soil
(2018)In some areas dedicated to the cultivation of peach plants, soils are characterized by high levels of zinc (Zn) as a consequence of successive applications of Zn-containing fungicides and/or use of animal manure as fertilizer. ...
