The rhizosphere, the thin layer of soil surrounding and influenced by plant roots, defines a distinct selective microbial habitat compared to unplanted soil. communities inhabiting rhizosphere microbiota, engage in interactions with their host plants which span from parasitism mutualism. Therefore, microbiota emerges as one determinants yield potential crops. Studies conducted different species have unequivocally pointed driver thriving at root-soil interface. Thus far, genetic traits...
Nanoparticles (NPs) have a significant impact on the environment and living organisms. The influence of NPs plants is intensively studied most data indicate that can penetrate into plants. studies presented here were performed roots Hordeum vulgare L. seedlings using neutral-charge gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) different sizes. In contrast to majority published data, results showed during culture period, AuNPs: 1/did not enter root regardless their size concentration, 2/that are applied...
In this study, we investigated the effect of different multivalent cations on granule formation. Previous experiments showed that formation matrix EPS and their structure depend presence divalent cations. This study indicates trivalent are also playing an important role. However, more compact granules were formed in all The authors tried to determine changes proteomic profile slime tightly bound EPS. These results is composed a variety large complex proteins, but there small like for...
Auxin is an important regulator of plant ontogenies including embryo development and the exogenous application this phytohormone has been found to be necessary for induction embryogenic response in explants that have cultured vitro. However, present study, we show treatment Arabidopsis with trichostatin A (TSA), which a chemical inhibitor histone deacetylases, induces somatic embryogenesis (SE) without auxin. We TSA-treated generated embryos developed efficiently on adaxial side cotyledons,...
Abstract Structure of bacterial biofilms may be investigated using several variants scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We apply lyophilization to prepare nitrifying biofilm for conventional SEM imaging in high‐vacuum mode (CSEM). therefore replace standard fixation glutaraldehyde cross‐linking, ethanol dehydration, and critical‐point drying (CPD) with less‐invasive low‐temperature by sublimation vacuum. compare this approach with: (1) preparation fixation, CPD before CSEM, (2) cryo‐sputter...
Brachypodium distachyon L. Beauv. (Brachypodium) is a species that has become an excellent model system for gaining better understanding of various areas grass biology and improving plant breeding. Although there are some studies in vitro culture including somatic embryogenesis, detailed knowledge the composition main cell wall components embryogenic callus this missing. Therefore, using immunocytochemical approach, we targeted 17 different antigens which five were against arabinogalactan...
The aim of this study was to perform a complex assessment changes in the elements an ecosystem that are caused by environmental pollution industrial and urban biotopes. focused on three sites: park, road site metallurgical plant “Pokój” city Ruda Śląska (Southern Poland), which each under different level anthropogenic load. Soil material samples (Plantago major Plantago lanceolata leaves) were investigated performing biochemical, ecophysiological scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses....
Grafting is a technique widely used in horticulture. The processes involved grafting are diverse, and the commonly employed studies focusing on mechanisms that regulate cell differentiation or response of plants to abiotic stress. Information changes composition wall occur during process scarce. Therefore, this study was carried out for analyzing using Arabidopsis hypocotyls as an example. During study, formation layer covers surface graft union observed. So, also aimed describe histological...
KB4 is capable of degrading paracetamol, but high concentrations this drug may cause an accumulation toxic metabolites. It known that immobilisation can have a protective effect on bacterial cells; therefore, the toxicity and degradation rate paracetamol by immobilised strain were assessed. Strain was plant sponge. A assessment performed measuring concentration ATP using colony-forming unit (CFU) method. The kinetic parameters estimated Hill equation. Toxicity analysis showed carrier at low...
Root hairs are tubular outgrowths of specialized epidermal cells called trichoblasts. They affect anchoring plants in soil, the uptake water and nutrients sites interaction between microorganisms. Nineteen root hair mutants barley representing different stages development were subjected to detailed morphological genetic analyses. Each mutant was monogenic recessive. An allelism test revealed that nine loci responsible for mutated phenotypes collection 1-4 allelic forms identified at each...
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) results from the transition of differentiated plant somatic cells into embryogenic that requires extensive reprogramming cell transcriptome. Commonly, SE-involved genes are identified by analyzing heterogeneous population explant and thus, it is necessary to validate expression candidate in competent for transition. Here, we optimized implemented whole mount situ hybridization (WISH) method (Dastidar et al. 2016; Bleckmann Dresselhaus, 2016) order analyze...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare morphological and physical features three kinds materials intended for the insulating layer in clothing protecting against cold – high-bulk non-woven, goose down (GD) duck (DD). Design/methodology/approach Comparison thermal performance developed textile systems with GD DD content was based on basic biophysical properties related comfort sensations user such as resistance, water vapor resistance air permeability. In study, light microscopy...
Abstract We describe the architecture of nitrifying bacteria biofilms immobilized on a three-dimensional (3D) polyurethane foam that permits efficient water flow through bioreactor. The 3D spatial organization bacterial colonies is characterized three resolution levels with X-ray tomography, light confocal microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Using these techniques we demonstrate biofilm distribution in existence several modes binding to foam. Computed tomography observation...
Freshwater sponges are common animals of most aquatic ecosystems. They feed by filtering small particles from the water, and so thought to be sensitive indicators pollution. Sponges strongly associated with abiotic environment therefore used as bioindicators for monitoring water quality in habitats. Among freshwater sponges, Spongilla lacustris is one classic models study evolution, gene regulation, development, physiology structural biology animal systems. It also important diagnostic...
