Fertilization strategies as a tool to modify the organoleptic properties of raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)Raspberry cultivation is increasing all over the world, being these fruits highly appreciated not only for their taste but also for their high content in bioactive compounds. However, the short shelf-life of these fruits ... -
Iron Mobilization and Mineralogical Alterations Induced by Iron-Deficient Cucumber Plants (Cucumis sativus L.) in a Calcareous Soil
(SCIENCE PRESS, 2018)Dicotyledons cope with ion (Fe) shortage by releasing low-molecular-weight organic compounds into the rhizosphere to mobilize Fe through reduction and complexation mechanisms. The effects induced by these root exudates on ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Italian ryegrass for the phytoremediation of solutions polluted with terbuthylazine
(2015)The phytoextraction capacity of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) to remove terbuthylazine (TBA) from aqueous solution has been assessed using a plant-based biotest (RHIZOtest). Three TBA concentrations (0.5, 1.0 ... -
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 ... -
Effect of pyrolysis temperature on miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus) biochar physical, chemical and functional properties
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2014)The thermal conversion (pyrolysis) of biomass for energy production and the incorporation into agricultural soils of the carbon-rich byproduct (biochar) can contribute to the mitigation of climate change. The beneficial ... -
Seasonal dynamics of root uptake and spring remobilisation of nitrogen in field grown orange trees
(2017)To be economically and environmentally sound, the nitrogen (N) supply in orchards needs to be finely tuned according to crop needs. This requires knowledge of the amount and the dynamics of N uptake by roots and of its ... -
Identification of Milk Origin and Process-Induced Changes in Milk by Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry
(2012)Stable isotope values were used to develop a new analytical approach enabling the simultaneous identification of milk samples either processed with different heating regimens or from different geographical origins. The ... -
Mitochondria dysfunctions under Fe and S deficiency: is citric acid involved in the regulation of adaptive responses?
(2018)Within the last years, extensive information has been accumulated on the reciprocal influence between S and Fe nutrition at both physiological and molecular level in several plant species, but the mechanisms regulating S ...
