Humic substances extracted from leonardite are widely considered to be bioactive compounds, influencing the whole-plant physiology and crop yield. The aim of this work was evaluate effect a new formulate based on in early stage growth sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). A commercial preparation (BLACKJAK) characterized by ionomic analysis, solid-state 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy. Seedlings were grown Hoagland's solution under controlled conditions. After five days growth, an aliquot concentrated...
A very simple means of nitrogen functional group grafting onto the backbone Desmostachya bipinnata is investigated, which a sacrificial herb in south Asian region particular to Hindu religion. This natural biomaterial found be effective for metal binding, after treatment with hydrazine monohydrate. The present study explores comparison amination processes by considering several options. maximum loading capacities Cd, Cu, and Zn were 76.80 mg/g, 72.10 58.16 respectively. kinetic evaluation...
Some elements and metals (Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, Zn, P) were analyzed in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), by comparing the concentration raw cooked fish. In particular, cooking of was carried out on pots made five different materials (cast iron, aluminum, steel, teflon ceramic), commonly used gastronomy. By measuring mineral content fish before after 5 materials, there is an increase which due not only to water loss but also release upon contact with surface pots....
In this study, a system based on omics profiling was set-up for sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris) evaluation after changes in sulfate availability. Seedlings were grown sulfate-deprived Hoagland solution. Six days germination, 100 μM MgSO4 added to the Root samples collected 36 h treatments. WinRHIZO root-scanning approach used automated image analysis of plant root morphology. Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry...
DNA-based technologies have become widespread tools for soil microbiological analyses in recent years. DNA extraction from the is a key step these approaches: it challenge researchers as still both expensive and time-consuming when large surveys are planned. The aim of this study was to develop high-throughput automated protocol purification soil. based on BioSprint 96 platform compared validation with another procedure two commercial column-based kits. To evaluate performances protocols, we...
The Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) is a pathogen that mostly affects plants from the Solanaceae family. This virus severely yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants, thus creating an urgent need to research basis resistance manage disease. To understand molecular resistance, we employed omics-based approaches involving leaf ionomics and transcriptomics help us decipher interaction between elemental nutritional composition investigate its effect on gene expression profile...
Summary Minerals in meat vary with different extrinsic and intrinsic sources; therefore, we aimed to quantify sources of variation mineral profile beef. Longissimus thoracis muscle (N.182) from young bulls heifers was analysed using ICP‐OES for 6 macrominerals, 5 essential microminerals 9 environmental microminerals. Results mixed models show that breed sex have little effect on profile. Major variation, such as farm, individual animal within farm side/sample animal, differed markedly...
Sulfur is an essential plant macronutrient, and its adequate supply allows efficient root storage sugar extractability in beets (Beta vulgaris L.). In this study, we investigated the effect of changes sulfur availability on endophytic community structure beets. Plants were hydroponically grown a complete nutrient solution (S-supplied), without MgSO4 (S-deprived), for six days resupplied with 100 μM 48 h (S-resupplied). The status was monitored by inductively coupled plasma ICP–OES,...
In this study, we investigated the leaf treatment effects of a novel trace elements calcium-based fluid mixture with supposed biostimulant action on Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Micro-Tom. Seedlings were grown standard peat substrate and treated two different products: common calcium fertilizer, CaCl2. Both treatments compared to an untreated control. We first fruit yield dry matter production in greenhouse-grown tomato. These then assessed leaves by gene expression profiling 60 genes...
Nutritional stress is one of the main limits to sugar beet yield. This study evaluated morphological and molecular responses changes in sulfate availability. Morphological characteristics root system accumulation microRNA395 (miR395) were examined sulfate(S)-supplemented S-deprived seedlings under hydroponic conditions. We also investigated functional role miR395 regulating expression APS1 gene coding for ATP-sulfurylase roots leaves. The showed a significant increase number tips, leaves but...
The identification of adaptive traits involved in the response plants to nutritional stress is necessary for maintaining crop productivity at sustainable levels. objective this study was evaluate relationships among root elongation rate, root/shoot ratio, nitrate and sulfate uptake rate sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris, Sugarbeet Group). These were measured three varieties characterized by dif ferent sugar yield. Wide differences observed after deprivation. not dependent on seed...
Different types of agricultural waste materials have been explored for their efficiency in removing heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. A biomass Desmostachya bipinnata (DB) was investigated as the potential bio-adsorbent removal Cd (II)) and Cu (II) wastewater. The surface DB chemically grafted with ethylenediamine. It characterized by elemental, FTIR SEM analysis. maximum adsorption capacity MDB were 30.4mg/g 41.6 mg/g at optimum pH 6 5, respectively. experimental data followed...
