Degradation of citrate promotes copper co-precipitation within aluminium-(hydr)oxides in calcareous soils
(Springer Verlag, 2017)In this study, we provide experimental evidences that in calcareous soils microbial degradation/decomposition of citrate can promote Al-(hydr)oxide precipitation concurrently decreasing copper (Cu) solubility by a ... -
New 'solutions' for floating cultivation system of ready-to-eat salad: A review
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2015)Soilless cultivation systems represent an alternative to traditional agriculture, as they offer the possibility to reduce water use and to design nutrient formulations of the hydroponic solutions in order to maximize yield ... -
Effect of aluminium exposure on the release of organic acids and genistein from the roots of Lupinus albus L. plants
(Elsevier B.V., 2016)Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the main factors limiting crop productivity in strongly acidic soils. Plant tolerance to Al toxicity has been widely studied even if the mechanisms involved in the plant response are yet ... -
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 ... -
Soil Bacteria Can Promote Cu Co-precipitation in Aluminum Oxides thus Reducing Citrate Mobilizing Capacity in Calcareous Soils
(ICOBTE, 2015)Soil is an extremely heterogeneous matrix where organic and inorganic phases coexist with a variety of living organisms. In particular, the rhizosphere is a very dynamic environment where plants and microorganisms compete ... -
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 ... -
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. ...
