Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15

Published: March 14, 2024

The search for ecofriendly products to reduce crop dependence on synthetic chemical fertilizers presents a new challenge. present study aims isolate and select efficient native PGPB that can reliance NPK fertilizers. A total of 41 bacteria were isolated from the sediment roots mangrove trees ( Avicennia marina ) assessed their PGP traits under in vitro conditions. Of them, only two compatible strains Bacillus sp ecies selected be used individually mix promote tomato seedling growth. efficiency three inoculants applied soil was pot experiment at varying rates fertilization (0, 50, 100% NPK). set up completely randomized design with replications. Results showed different significantly increased almost all studied parameters. However, effectiveness is strongly linked rate fertilization. Applying bacterial inoculant 50% plant height (44-51%), digital biomass (60-86%), leaf area (77-87%), greenness average (29-36%), normalized difference vegetation index (29%), shoot dry weight (82-92%) root (160-205%) compared control plants. Concerning photosynthetic activity, this treatment positive impact concentrations chlorophyll (25-31%), b (34-39%), carotenoid (45-49%). Interestingly, these increases ensured highest values similar or higher than those plants given NPK.

How Do Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria Use Plant Hormones to Regulate Stress Reactions?

Plants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(17), P. 2371 - 2371

Published: Aug. 26, 2024

Phytohormones play a crucial role in regulating growth, productivity, and development while also aiding the response to diverse environmental changes, encompassing both biotic abiotic factors. Phytohormone levels soil plant tissues are influenced by specific bacteria, leading direct effects on development, stress tolerance. Specific growth-promoting bacteria can either synthesize or degrade phytohormones. Moreover, wide range of volatile organic compounds synthesized have been found influence expression Bacteria-plant interactions become more significant under conditions such as saline soils, drought, heavy metal pollution. function synergistic antagonistic manner rather than isolation. The study involves approaches, identifying singular substances hormones, comparing mutant non-mutant bacterial strains, screening for individual gene presence, utilizing omics approaches analysis. Each approach uncovers concealed aspects concerning plants. Publications that prioritize comprehensive examination private PGPB cultivated utmost significance advancing practical application microbial biofertilizers. This review explores potential PGPB-plant promoting sustainable agriculture. We summarize interactions, focusing mechanisms through which beneficial effect growth via phytohormones, with particular emphasis detecting synthesis phytohormones bacteria.

A new framework for simulating C decomposition and emissions from land applied biosolids and manures using the denitrification and decomposition model

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 969, P. 178913 - 178913

Published: Feb. 25, 2025

There is a need for modeling tools capable of estimating CO2 emissions from land application biosolids and manure. The Denitrification Decomposition model (DNDC) was improved this capacity by adding separate manure C pool to disaggregate decomposition the soil organic matter pools. effect temperature on also improved. Data collected two climatically distinct sites in Montreal (Quebec) Truro (Nova Scotia) with corn were used test DNDC simulating yield, moisture, fluxes amended (mesophilic anaerobically digested, composted, or alkaline-stabilized).

The influence of tourism on the road to achieving carbon neutrality and environmental sustainability in Malaysia: The role of renewable energy

Sustainability Analytics and Modeling, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 4, P. 100028 - 100028

Published: Dec. 6, 2023

As the effects of climate change on environment become more apparent, numerous initiatives have been launched to achieve carbon neutrality and environmental sustainability. Travelers may be adding global warming by engaging in climate-altering practices like flying or staying hotels. Thus, this study examined connection between tourism emissions, considering a few additional unique aspects. The long-run short-run coefficients were calculated applying autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method using data spanning 1990-2019. According projections, Malaysia makes it difficult reach neutrality. Traveler numbers along with fossil fuel energy use, economic growth, financial development, gross fixed capital formation, population positive association long-term emissions.
