Impacts of biochar application in combination with organic fertilizer, such as compost, are not fully understood. In this study, we tested the effects amendment, compost addition, and their on lettuce plants grown a soil poor nutrients; microbiological, chemical, physical characteristics were analyzed, together plant growth physiology. An initial screening was also done to evaluate effect toxicity, using cress earthworms. Results showed that amendment had clear positive yield chemical...
Reaction wood (RW) formation is an innate physiological response of woody plants to counteract mechanical constraints in nature, reinforce structure and redirect growth toward the vertical direction. Differences and/or similarities between stem root remain almost unknown especially relation phytohormones distribution RW characteristics. Thus, Populus nigra subjected static non-destructive mid-term bending treatment were analyzed. The tension compression forces was firstly modeled along main...
Abstract Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.) is one of the most ancient crops Mediterranean region used for human nutrition; an extensive differentiation L. over millennia has resulted in a number different landraces. As consequence environmental and socio‐economic issues, disappearance many them occurred more recent times. To investigate potential proteomics as tool phylogenetic studies, testing possibility to identify specific markers plant landraces, 2‐D gel electrophoretic maps mature seeds...
Mechanical stress is a widespread condition caused by numerous environmental factors that severely affect plant stability. In response to mechanical stress, plants have evolved complex pathways able detect perturbations and inducing suite of modifications in order improve anchorage. The woody roots stresses has been studied mainly at the morphological biomechanical level, whereas investigations on triggering these important alterations are still initial stage. Populus widely used study stem...
Today, the use of nursery-produced seedlings is most widely adopted method in forest restoration processes. To ensure and enhance performance transplanting into a specific area, soil amendments are often used due to their ability improve physicochemical properties and, turn, plant growth development. The aim present study was evaluate Populus euramericana development on growing substrate added with biochar compost, both alone combination. accomplish this aim, pot experiment performed test...
Abstract Mechanical stress is a widespread environmental condition that can be caused by several factors (i.e. gravity, touch, wind, soil density, compaction and grazing, slope) severely affect plant stability. In response to mechanical improve their anchorage, plants have developed complex mechanisms detect perturbation induce suite of modifications at anatomical, physiological, biochemical, biophysical molecular level. Although it well recognized one the primary functions root systems...
In this study, we investigated the effect of different rates compost (20%, 40%, 60% w/w) in combination with biochar (0%, 2%, 6% on soil physiochemical properties and mobility arsenic (As) lead (Pb), addition to ability Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia-0) grow accumulate metal(loid)s. All modalities improved pH electrical conductivity, stabilized Pb mobilized As, but only mixture 20% plant growth. Plants all showed a significant reduction root shoot concentrations compared non-amended...
Morphological and biomechanical alterations occurring in woody roots of many plant species response to mechanical stresses are well documented; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating these important alterations. The first forest tree genome be decoded that Populus, thereby providing a tool with which investigate controlling adaptation changing environments. aim this study was use proteomic approach Populus nigra taproot stress. To simulate perturbations, taproots...
Plant growth and development are affected by several environmental factors, among which soil nutrient availability. Biochar addition to is recognized exert beneficial effects on fertility thus plant growth; furthermore, it a promising option for climate change mitigation. However, multi-species studies meta-analyses have indicated considerable variations in biochar responses species. To date, information the effect plants, especially at molecular level, still scarce. Using multi-target...
