Beneficial Soil Bacteria: Many Recipes to Promote Plant Growth and Protection

This Special Issue includes studies originating from various countries around the globe and covers diverse types and mechanisms of microbial beneficial functions for plant life. Overall, these publications contribute to enhance our understanding of how soil microbial activity influences plant growth, particularly under abiotic or biotic stress conditions. This area of research is highly valuable not only from t...

The Vineyard Microbiome: How Climate and the Main Edaphic Factors Shape Microbi...

The soil microbiome is a complex system that encompasses millions of microbes including archaea, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. The role of abiotic factors is crucial in shaping the distribution patterns of microorganisms, its abundance and also the interactions between species, from local to the global level. In the particular case of the vineyard, the microbial communities have a potential impact in b...

The Overexpression of an EnvZ-like Protein Improves the Symbiotic Performance o...

The two-component signal transduction system EnvZ/OmpR is described to mediate response to osmotic stress, although it regulates genes involved in other processes such as virulence, fatty acid uptake, exopolysaccharide production, peptide transportation, and flagella production. Considering that some of these processes are known to be important for a successful symbiosis, the present study addresses the effects...

BIOMONTADO – Montado ecosystem and vineyards

The montado is considered a high nature value (HNV) agro-silvopastoral system that provides important ecosystem services, in addition to tradable products, namely biodiversity conservation, soil conservation, carbon sequestration, organic matter storage and water cycle regulation. In the Alentejo region, its matrix is often interrupted by patches of agricultural systems, such as vineyards. The BIOMONTADO projec...

Urea as a key nitrogen source for the invasion of thesouthern coast of Portugal...

The invasive seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae, native to East Asia, is spreading rapidly along the western Mediterranean and southern Portugal, severely affecting coastal biodiversity, ecosystem structure, and economic sectors such as fisheries and tourism. This study examined the nutrient up-take kinetics of R. ok amurae, including ammonium, nitrate, urea, amino acids, and phosphate, and their role in nitrogen an...
