Abstract Background The release of organic acids (OAs) is considered the main mechanism used by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to dissolve inorganic phosphate in soil. Nevertheless, little known about effect individual OAs produced a particular PSB soil–plant system. For these reasons, present work aimed at investigating Enterobacter sp. strain 15S and exogenous application its on (i) solubilization tricalcium (TCP), (ii) plant growth (iii) P nutrition cucumber. To this purpose two...
Plants have evolved diverse plant-species specific tolerance mechanisms to cope with salt stress. However, these adaptive strategies often inefficiently mitigate the stress related increasing salinity. In this respect, plant-based biostimulants gained popularity since they can alleviate deleterious effects of Hence, study aimed evaluate sensitivity tomato and lettuce plants grown under high salinity possible protective four based on vegetal protein hydrolysates. were set in a 2 × 5 factorial...
Abstract The application of protein hydrolysates (PH) biostimulants is considered a promising approach to promote crop growth and resilience against abiotic stresses. Nevertheless, PHs bioactivity depends on both the raw material used for their preparation molecular fraction applied. present research aimed at investigating mechanisms triggered by applying PH its fractions plants subjected nitrogen limitations. To this objective, an integrated transcriptomic‐metabolomic was assess lettuce...
Healthy and fertile soils are the foundation of sustainable global agriculture, supporting both intensive extensive crop cultivation, including orchards vineyards across diverse agroecosystems. However, widespread use synthetic fertilizers has degraded soil organic matter overall quality, leading to significant environmental consequences threats ecosystem services. Challenges in accessing mineral fertilizers, along with growing concerns over sustainability, have driven interest alternative...
Abstract Plant biostimulants are widely applied in agriculture for their ability to improve plant fitness. In the present work, impact of Graminaceae -derived protein hydrolysate (P) and its lighter molecular fraction F3 (< 1 kDa) on lettuce plants, subjected either no salt or high conditions, was investigated through combination metabolomics transcriptomics. The results showed that both treatments significantly modulated transcriptome metabolome plants under salinity stress, highlighting...
Increased soil salinity is one of the main concerns in agriculture and food production, it negatively affects plant growth crop productivity. In order to mitigate adverse effects stress, biostimulants (PBs) have been indicated as a promising approach. Indeed, these products beneficial effect on plants by acting primary secondary metabolism inducing accumulation protective molecules against oxidative stress. this context, present work aimed at comparatively investigating microbial (i.e.,...
Food authenticity plays a pivotal role in the modern age since an increased consumers awareness has led them to pay more attention food commodities. For this reason, it is important have reliable and fast techniques able detect possible adulterations food, which affect qualitative economic value. Therefore, aim of study was apple juice from others fruit species (i.e., pear, peach, kiwi) combining DNA barcoding approach, using trnL (UAA) intron, with high resolution melting analysis (HRMA). A...
A field trial was carried out to investigate the effects of compost application on a young Cabernet sauvignon vineyard located in hilly area North-East Italy and subjected land terracing before plantation. The use based manure, pruning residues pomace at rate 65 t ha -1 compared mineral fertilization regime recommended for vineyards (NPK: 80, 50, 200 kg ). multi-factorial approach that considered soil chemical properties, microbial community structure function, vine nutritional vegetative...
