Microalgae polysaccharides represent a potentially bioressource for the enhancement and protection of agricultural crops. We investigate possibility to use microalgae as plant biostimulant. The crude extract (PS) from three strains were applied Solanum lycopersicum plants by irrigation compared basing on their effects shoot root length, nodes number dry weight. application 1 mg mL−1 PS A. platensis, D. salina Porphorydium sp. tomato improved significantly (NN), weight (SDW), length (SS) by75...
Microalgal polysaccharides (PSs) may be an effective elicitor agent that can efficiently protect plants against biotic stresses. In this study, wee investigates, the effect of PS obtained from microalgae and cyanobacteria (D. salina MS002, P. tricorontum MS023, Porphyridium sp. MS081, Desmodesmus sp., D. MS067 A. platensis MS001) on biochemical metabolomics markers linked to defense pathways in tomato plants. The phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), chitinase, 1,3-beta-glucanase peroxidase...
The Argania is an endemic genetic resource in Morocco holding important ecological and socio-economical benefit. However, overgrazing overharvesting lead to a serious downturn the number of trees. To characterize diversity within among 24 populations, represented by 240 argan trees, four combinations SRAP primers eight REMAP were used. A total 338 146 markers amplified with polymorphism 100%. average information content value was 0.20 0.17 for markers, respectively. analysis molecular...
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) play an essential role in enhancing plant growth, health and yield. In this study, we describe the isolation of PGPR associated with olive tree (Olea europaea L.) grown three Moroccan regions Zouala, Errachidia, Essaouira. these regions, isolated 95 PGPRs from rhizosphere Olive trees, 78% them were characterized by their tolerance to a salinity 4-11%. We also found that 39% phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) solubilization ability greater than...
Abstract Background Phosphorus (P) fertilizers, made from rock phosphate, increase crop yields. However, phosphate is a finite resource, stressing the need for more P‐efficient crops. Aims This study aims to exploit P‐adaptive traits that enhance P‐acquisition and P‐use efficiency in crops, as potential sustainable management method agricultural settings. Methods investigates biostimulant effects of Aphanothece sp. extracts (ApE) on P absorption tomato plants supplied with triple super...
Argan ( Argania spinosa L.), an endemic specie of Morocco, is vulnerable to future climate change because it predominantly grown in arid and semi-arid areas. Metabolomic fluctuations under drought stress conditions are mostly unknown tree. Therefore, we investigate the first report metabolic responses four contrasting ecotypes (Lkhssas, Awlouz, Rbai Admin) that were subjected for 45 days. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, identified 229 metabolites, including fatty acids, prenol...
