Environmental pollution by heavy metals has become a serious problem in the world. Phytoextraction, which is one of plant-based technologies, attracted most attention for bioremediation soils polluted with these contaminants. The aim this study was to determine whether multiple-tolerant bacterium, Brevibacterium casei MH8a isolated from metal-contaminated rhizosphere soil Sinapis alba L., able promote plant growth and enhance Cd, Zn Cu uptake white mustard under laboratory conditions....
Long-term exposure to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been connected chronic human health disorders. It is also well-known that i) PAH contamination alters soil bacterial communities, ii) microbiome associated with environmental microbiome, and iii) alteration in the abundance of members several phyla adverse or beneficial effects. We hypothesized pollution by PAHs altered communities had known associations health. The rationale behind our study was increase understanding potentially...
In this study, we analysed the impact of heavy metals and plant rhizodeposition on structure indigenous microbial communities in rhizosphere bulk soil that had been exposed to for more than 150 years. Samples Silene vulgaris non-rhizosphere soils 250 450 m from source emission different metal concentrations were collected analyses. The results showed smelter a higher number Cd-resistant CFU compared with samples m, but no significant differences observed total oligotrophic or equivalent cell...
Abstract Drought stress can damage crop growth and lead to a decline in yield, thereby affecting food security, especially regions vulnerable climate change. SNAC1 (stress-responsive NAC1), the NAC transcription factor family member, plays crucial role stomatal movement regulation. Effective regulation of is essential for protecting plants from water loss during adverse conditions. Our hypothesis revolves around altering HvSNAC1 activity by introducing point mutation its encoding gene,...
The Pseudomonas qingdaonensis ZCR6 strain, isolated from the rhizosphere of Zea mays growing in soil co-contaminated with hydrocarbons and heavy metals, was investigated for its plant growth promotion, hydrocarbon degradation, metal resistance. In vitro bioassays confirmed all abovementioned properties. able to produce indole acetic acid (IAA), siderophores, ammonia, solubilized Ca3(PO4)2, showed surface active properties activity cellulase very high 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic...
The aim of this study was to assess the impact soil inoculation with Rhodococcus erythropolis CD 106 strain on effectiveness phytoremediation an aged hydrocarbon-contaminated [approx. 1% total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)] using ryegrass (Lolium perenne). introduction into significantly increased biomass and removal hydrocarbons in planted soil. fresh weight shoots roots plants inoculated by 49% 30%, respectively. After 210 days experiment, concentration TPH reduced 31.2%, whereas planted,...
CBP20 (Cap-Binding Protein 20) encodes a small subunit of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which is involved in conserved cell processes related to RNA metabolism plants and, simultaneously, engaged signaling network drought response, dependent on ABA. Here, we report enhanced tolerance stress barley mutant HvCBP20 gene manifested at morphological, physiological, and transcriptomic levels. Physiological analyses revealed differences between hvcbp20.ab its WT response water deficiency. The...
Endophyte-enhanced phytodegradation is a promising technology to clean up polluted soils. To improve the success rate of this nature-based remediation approach, it important advance inoculation method as has been shown strongly affect final outcome. However, studies evaluating strategies and their effect on hydrocarbon degradation are limited. This study aims investigate two different manners endophyte in Lolium perenne growing an aged petroleum soil: (1) direct soil (SI), (2)...
Bioremediation and phytoremediation of soil polluted with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are an effective eco-friendly alternative to physicochemical methods decontamination. These techniques can be supported by the addition strains and/or surface-active compounds. However, obtain maximum efficacy bioremediation, interactions that occur between microorganisms, enhancement factors plants need studied. Our study aimed investigate removal from aged highly (hydrocarbon content about 2.5%) using...
The Enterobacter ludwigii ZCR5 strain, isolated from the leaves of Zea mays growing in soil cocontaminated with hydrocarbons and heavy metals, was investigated under laboratory conditions for its plant growth-promoting traits, petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) degradation biosurfactant production abilities then used bacterial-assisted phytoremediation. whole genome sequenced, presence several genes encoding enzymes important enhancement phytoremediation polluted PHs detected. Next, strain...
Drought is a major environmental stress that affects crop productivity worldwide. Although previous research demonstrated links between strigolactones (SLs) and drought, here we used barley (Hordeum vulgare) SL-insensitive mutant hvd14 (dwarf14) to scrutinize the SL-dependent mechanisms associated with water deficit response.We have employed combination of transcriptomics, proteomics, phytohormonomics analyses, physiological data unravel differences wild-type plants under drought. Our...
