Endophytic bacterial population was isolated from Spartina maritima tissues, a heavy metal bioaccumulator cordgrass growing in the estuaries of Tinto, Odiel, and Piedras River (south west Spain), one most polluted areas world. Strains were identified ability to tolerate salt metals along with plant growth promoting enzymatic properties analyzed. A high proportion these bacteria resistant toward or several metalloids including As, Cu, Zn, abundant tissues soil. These strains also exhibited...
Amid climate change, heatwave events are expected to increase in frequency and severity. As a result, yield losses viticulture due stress have increased over the years. one of most important crops world, an eco-friendly mitigation strategy is greatly needed. The present work aims evaluate physiological fitness improvement by two marine plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria consortia Vitis vinifera cv. Antão Vaz under conditions. To assess potential biophysical biochemical thermal feedback...
The present study aims to unravel ecophysiological mechanisms underlying plant-microbe interactions under natural abiotic stress conditions, specifically heavy metal pollution. Effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) bioaugmentation on Spartina maritima in vivo root respiration and oxidative was investigated. This autochthonous is a hyperaccumulator cordgrass growing one the most polluted estuaries world. association with native PGPR being studied view their biotechnological...
Salicornia ramosissima is a C3 halophyte that grows naturally in South Western Spain salt marshes, under high soil salinity and heavy metal pollution levels caused by both natural anthropogenic pressure. However, very few works have reported the phytoremediation potential of S. ramosissima. In this work, we studied microbe-assisted strategy greenhouse conditions. We inoculated resistant Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) pots with non-polluted polluted sediments collected from Spanish...
In a scenario of climate change and growing population, halophyte root microbiota interactions may be sustainable solution to improve alternative crop production while combating abiotic stress. this work, seeds the cash Salicornia ramosissima were inoculated with five different plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria consortia, isolated from rhizosphere halophytes in southwestern Spain salt marshes. For first time, we recorded seed germination response three interactive stressors, CO2 (400 700...
Soil salinization is an environmental problem that adversely affects plant growth and crop productivity worldwide. As alternative to the conventional approach of breeding salt-tolerant cultivars, we explored use plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from halophytic plants enhance under saline conditions. Here, report effect five PGPR consortia halophytes on eight (alfalfa, flax, maize, millet, rice, strawberry, sunflower, wheat) crops most commonly produced salinized soils To test...
Biofertilization with plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can positively affect the growth and health of host plants reinforce their tolerance stressors. Here, we investigate use isolated PGPR consortia from halophytes to improve strawberry flowering performance under saline elevated CO2 temperature conditions. Growth, flower bud production, photosynthetic apparatus response were determined in grown at 0 85 mmol L−1 NaCl two atmospheric CO2-temperature combinations (400/700 ppm 25/+4...
Regenerative agriculture aims to boost native biodiversity and ensure sustainable production. Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) enhance crop yield through improved nutrient use efficiency or stress tolerance. Utilizing synthetic bacterial communities (SynCom) tailored specific challenges holds promise for enhancing plant resilience. However, include designing microbial consortia selecting SynCom application techniques. This study tested four PGPB methods on tomato plants evaluate their...
Inadequate fertilization or the indiscriminate use of water with high salt concentrations have led to salinization agricultural soils. In this context, biofertilization plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an environmentally benign strategy stimulate plant growth, even under stress. Thus, we studied isolated PGPR consortia from halophytes enhance Swiss chard growth saline conditions. Growth, photosynthetic apparatus response, nutrient status, pigment concentrations, and secondary...
Abstract Root phenotyping describes methods for measuring root properties, or traits. While can be challenging, it is advancing quickly. In order the field to move forward, essential understand current state and challenges of phenotyping, as well pressing needs biology community. this letter, we present discuss results a survey that was created disseminated by members Graduate Student Postdoc Ambassador Program at 11th symposium International Society Research. This aimed (1) provide an...
Two bacterial strains, EAod9T and SMJ21T, isolated from salt-marsh plants, were determined to be related species of the genus Vibriofrom 16S rRNA sequence comparisons. Their closest phylogenetic relatives are members Gazogenes clade, Vibrio mangrovi rhizosphaerae , which show greatest similarity SMJ21TrRNA (97.3 97.1 %, respectively), while had less than 97.0 % any other Vibrio. Both strains share basic characteristics Vibrio, as they Gram-stain negative, motile, slightly halophilic,...
Two strains of Gram-stain-negative, chemo-organotrophic, aerobic and halophilic gammaproteobacteria, isolated from within the stem roots Spartina maritima in salt marshes south Atlantic Spanish coast, were found to represent a novel species genus Marinomonas through phylogenetic analysis their 16S rRNA genes phenotypic characterization. gene sequences two shared < 96.2 % similarity with other species, Marimonas alcarazii being most similar sequence. They required sodium ions for growth, able...
Promoting the consumption of fruits is a key objective nutrition policy campaigns due to their associated health benefits. Raspberries are well appreciated for remarkable flavor and nutritional value attributable antioxidant properties. Consequently, one objectives present-day raspberry breeding programs improve fruit’s sensory nutritive characteristics. However, developing new genotypes with enhanced quality traits complex task intricate impacts genetic environmental factors have on these...
Rice is one of the most important crops in world and considered a strategic crop for food security. Furthermore, excessive use chemical fertilizers to obtain high yields causes environmental problems. A sustainable alternative includes taking advantage beneficial bacteria that promote plant growth. Here, we investigate effect five bacterial biofertilizers from halophytes on growth, photosynthetic efficiency rice plants grown under saline conditions (0 85 mmol L-1 NaCl) future climate change...
With the purpose of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolation, several authors have sampled different wetlands in northern half Argentina. However, to date, we do not know existence microbiological studies conducted Patagonian salt marshes, and concretely, concerning isolation PGPR. The present work was heavy metal polluted San Antonio marsh, two areas with grade pollution. In those areas, isolated cultivable bacteria from rhizosphere halophytes Spartina densiflora Sarcocornia...
