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 ... -
The root-hairless barley mutant brb used as model for assessment of role of root hairs in iron accumulation
(2011)Main components of Strategy II mechanism for Fe uptake are secretion of chelating compounds, phytosiderophores, and specific uptake of Fe(III)-phytosiderophores complex. Since the amount of phytosiderophores secreted ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Nitrate induction and physiological responses of two maize lines differing in nitrogen use efficiency: effects on N availability, microbial diversity and enzyme activity in the rhizosphere
(SPRINGER, 2018)The rate of nitrate (NO3 (-)) uptake and changes in rhizosphere properties were studied growing seedlings of two maize inbred lines differing in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rhizoboxes.Changes in NO3 (-) uptake rates ... -
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 ...
