Strawberries are a very popular fruit among berries, for both their commercial and economic importance, but especially beneficial effects human health. However, bioactive compound content is strictly related to the nutritional status of plant might be affected if disorders (e.g. Fe or P shortage) occur. To overcome nutrient shortages, plants evolved different mechanisms, which often involve release root exudates. The biochemical molecular mechanisms underlying exudation its regulation as yet...
Selenium (Se) is an essential nutrient for humans, due to its antioxidant properties, whereas, date, essentiality plants still remains be demonstrated. Nevertheless, if added the cultivation substrate, growth resulted enhanced. However, concentration of Se in agricultural soils very variable, ranging from 0.01 mg kg-1 up 10 seleniferous areas. Therefore several studies have been performed aimed at bio-fortifying crops with and approaches exploited were mainly based on application...
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...
Abstract BACKGROUND Among berries, strawberry fruits are one of the richest natural sources health‐beneficial components such as micronutrients, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Strawberry quality depends greatly upon genotype, environmental factors, cultivation techniques nutrient supply. This study aimed to assess influence phosphorus iron deficiency on bioactive compound content in grown under hydroponic conditions. RESULTS Different supplies clearly influenced qualitative parameters...
Nitrogen (N) represents one of the limiting factors for crop growth and productivity to date has been widely supplied via external application fertilizers. However, use plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) might represent a valuable tool further improve nutrition. This study examines influence Azospirillum brasilense strain Cd on nitrate uptake in maize (Zea mays) plants, focusing high-affinity transport system (HATS). Plants were induced with (500 µM) either inoculated or not...
The reliable quantification of root exudation and nutrient uptake is a very challenging task, especially when considering single segments. Most methods used necessitate handling e.g. dissecting/cutting. However, there knowledge gap on how much these techniques affect physiology. Thus, this study aimed at assessing the effect different phosphate (P i ) carboxylate white lupin roots. White plants were grown hydroponically in full P -deficient solution for 60 days. Phosphate cluster non-cluster...
Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is one of the most produced aromatic herbs in world, exploiting hydroponic systems. It has been widely assessed that macronutrients, like nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S), can strongly affect organoleptic qualities agricultural products, thus influencing their nutraceutical value. In addition, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have shown to plant growth quality. Azospirillum brasilense a PGPR able colonize root system different crops, promoting...
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) represent a heterogeneous group of bacteria, which have been characterized for their ability to influence the growth and fitness agricultural plants. In quest more sustainable practices, PGPR suggested as valid complement agronomical since they can several biochemical molecular mechanisms related mineral nutrients uptake, plant pathogens suppression, phytohormones production. Within present work, three bacterial strains, namely Enterobacter...
Abstract Plasmopara viticola is one of the most important pathogens infecting Vitis vinifera plants. The interactions among P. and both susceptible resistant grapevine plants have been extensively characterised, at transcriptomic, proteomic metabolomic levels. However, involvement ionome in response against pathogen has completely neglected so far. Therefore, this study was aimed investigating possible role leaf ionomic modulation during compatible incompatible between In cultivars, a...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plants. The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) may also improve development and enhance availability, thus providing a promising alternative or supplement to chemical fertilizers. This study aimed evaluate the effectiveness Enterobacter sp. strain 15S in improving growth P acquisition maize (monocot) cucumber (dicot) plants under P-deficient hydroponic conditions, either by itself solubilizing external source inorganic phosphate (Pi) [Ca...
Nitrogen (N) as well Phosphorus (P) are key nutrients determining crop productivity. Legumes have developed strategies to overcome nutrient limitation by, for example, forming a symbiotic relationship with N-fixing rhizobia and the release of P-mobilizing exudates thus able grow without supply N or P fertilizers. The legume-rhizobial symbiosis starts root isoflavonoids that act signaling molecules perceived by compatible bacteria. Subsequently, bacteria nod factors, which induce cascades...
