Impact of soybean-associated plant growth-promoting bacteria on plant growth mo...

Conventional strategies to manage iron (Fe) deficiency still present drawbacks, and more eco-sustainable solutions are needed. Knowledge on soybean-specific diversity and functional traits of their plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) potentiates their applicability as bioinoculants to foster soybean performance under calcareous soil conditions. This work aimed to assess the efficacy of PGPB, retrieved from s...

Iron metabolism in soybean grown in calcareous soil is influenced by plant grow...

Iron deficiency results in severe yield losses, particularly in calcareous soils. Recent evidences suggest that biofertilizers with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may be an efficient strategy for enhancing iron (Fe) nutrition in legumes. This work aimed at evaluating the capacity of PGPR strains to enhance Fe uptake-related processes in soybean grown in calcareous soil. From the studied 24 PGPR, Sp...

Legume biofortification and the role of plant growth-promoting bacteria in a su...

World population growth, together with climate changes and increased hidden hunger, bring an urgent need for finding sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural approaches to improve crop yield and nutritional value. The existing methodologies for enhancing the concentration of bioavailable micronutrients in edible crop tissues (i.e., biofortification), including some agronomic strategies, conventional plant bree...

Understanding the role of the antioxidant system and the tetrapyrrole cycle in ...

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is an abiotic stress often experienced by soybean, owing to the low solubility of iron in alkaline soils. Here, soybean lines with contrasting Fe efficiencies were analyzed to test the hypothesis that the Fe efficiency trait is linked to antioxidative stress signaling via proper management of tissue Fe accumulation and transport, which in turn influences the regulation of heme an...

Phenotypic evaluation of the IDC profile of soybean plants after inoculation wi...

Effect of tris(3-hydroxy-4-pyridinonate) iron(III) complexes on iron uptake and...

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is a serious environmental problem affecting the growth of several crops in the world. The application of synthetic Fe(III) chelates is still one of the most common measures to correct IDC and the search for more effective Fe chelates remains an important issue. Herein, we propose a tris(3-hydroxy-4-pyridinonate) iron(III) complex, Fe(mpp)3, as an IDC corrector. Different morphol...

Utilization of a novel biofertilizer for iron deficiency chlorosis prevention i...

Chemical composition of red, brown and green macroalgae from Buarcos bay in Cen...

Six representative edible seaweeds from the Central West Portuguese Coast, including the less studied Osmundea pinnatifida, were harvested from Buarcos bay, Portugal and their chemical characterization determined. Protein content, total sugar and fat contents ranged between 14.4% and 23.8%, 32.4% and 49.3% and 0.6–3.6%. Highest total phenolic content was observed in Codium tomentosum followed by Sargassum mutic...

Iron partitioning at an early growth stage impacts iron deficiency responses in...

Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis (IDC) leads to leaf yellowing, stunted growth and drastic yield losses. Plants have been differentiated into ‘Fe-efficient’ (EF) if they resist to IDC and ‘Fe-inefficient’ (IN) if they do not, but the reasons for this contrasting efficiency remain elusive. We grew EF and IN soybean plants under Fe deficient and Fe sufficient conditions and evaluated if gene expression and the abil...

Chemical composition and nutritive value of Pleurotus citrinopileatus var cornu...

The chemical composition and nutritive value of five mushrooms species, some less studied such as Pleurotus citrinopileatus var. cornucopiae, P. salmoneo stramineus or Pholiota nameko, were determined. Protein, sugar and fat contents ranged between 16.2 to 26.6, 52.7 to 64.9 and 2.3 to 3.5 g/100g(dry mushroom), respectively. Highest total phenolic content was observed for P. citrinopileatus var. cornucopiae wit...
