Horticultural crop quality is an important aspect of agricultural production because it directly influences customer preference, market value, and overall sustainability. Micronutrients are for plant nutrition they affect the growth, development, horticultural crops. This review provides in-depth understanding role micronutrients in productivity. study investigated characteristics micronutrients, their functions growth most prevalent micronutrient deficits discusses obstacles issues associated with each treatment technique, including soil, foliar, fertigation application. It also emphasizes effects on quality, such as increased yield, improvements fruit attributes (size, color, flavor), nutritional value bioactive compounds, reduced postharvest losses, extended shelf life. Micronutrient plants have been studied, absorption, transport, accumulation, well interactions other nutrients signaling pathways. Recent research breakthroughs, studies specific synergies, innovative methods application formulation, developing technologies assessment, covered this review. The practical consequences recommendations management systems were investigated, concerns regarding sustainable efficient utilization future goals. Overall, underlines importance increasing productivity, potential influence subject.

Plant-associated microbiota can extend plant immune system function, improve nutrient acquisition and availability, alleviate abiotic stresses. Thus, naturally beneficial microbial therapeutics are enticing tools to productivity. The basic definition of across species ecosystems, combined with the development reductionist experimental models manipulation phenotypes microbes, has fueled interest in its translation agriculture. However, great majority microbes exhibiting plant-productivity traits lab greenhouse fail field. Therapeutic must reach détente, establishment uneasy homeostasis, system, invade heterogeneous pre-established plant-associated communities, persist a new potentially remodeled community.

Factors such as extreme temperatures, light radiation, and nutritional condition influence the physiological, biochemical, molecular processes associated with fruit development its quality. Besides abiotic stresses, biotic constraints can also affect growth Moreover, there be interactions between stressful conditions. However, it is challenging to predict generalize risks of climate change scenarios on seasonal patterns growth, development, yield, quality species because their responses are often highly complex involve changes at multiple levels. Advancements in genetic editing technologies hold great potential for agricultural sector, particularly enhancing crop traits. These improvements tailored meet consumer preferences, which crucial commercial success. Canopy management innovative training systems key factors that contribute maximizing yield efficiency improving quality, essential competitiveness orchards. creation habitats support pollinators a critical aspect sustainable agriculture, they play significant role production many crops, including fruits. Incorporating these strategies allows growers adapt changing conditions, increasingly important stability food production. By investing areas, stay ahead challenges opportunities industry, ultimately leading increased success profitability. In this review, we aim provide an updated overview current knowledge topic. We recommendations future research.

Iron sensing in plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14

Опубликована: Март 8, 2023

The ease of accepting or donating electrons is the raison d’être for pivotal role iron (Fe) plays in a multitude vital processes. In presence oxygen, however, this very property promotes formation immobile Fe(III) oxyhydroxides soil, which limits concentration Fe that available uptake by plant roots to levels well below plant’s demand. To adequately respond shortage (or, absence possible surplus) supply, plants have perceive and decode information on both external internal status. As further challenge, such cues be translated into appropriate responses satisfy (but not overload) demand sink (i.e., non-root) tissues. While seems straightforward task evolution, inputs signaling circuitry suggests diversified sensing mechanisms concertedly contribute govern whole cellular homeostasis. Here, we review recent progress elucidating early events steer downstream adaptive responses. emerging picture central event but occurs distinct locations linked biotic abiotic networks together tune levels, uptake, root growth, immunity an interwoven manner orchestrate prioritize multiple physiological readouts.

A Critical Review of Methodologies for Evaluating Iron Fertilizers Based on Iron Reduction and Uptake by Strategy I Plants

Plants, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(6), С. 819 - 819

Under iron (Fe)-limited conditions, plants have developed strategies for acquiring this essential micronutrient. Several Fe sources been studied as potential fertilizers, with synthetic chelates being the most used to prevent and correct chlorosis in crops. The determination of activity chelate reductase (FCR) enzyme has long described literature understand efficiency Strategy I from fertilizers under deficient conditions. Other experiments focused on translocation plant define effectiveness fertilizers. Yet, both assays are relevant knowing capacity a novel source other compounds alleviating plants. This work reviews methodologies that FCR evaluate including factors modulating results obtained assay activity, such substrate, level during growing period assay, pH, choice an vivo or vitro method, species. A discussion benefits concurrence uptake is then presented alongside proposed methodology assessing emphasizing importance understanding chemical physiological interactions. unifies key modify combines these use 57Fe tracer enhance our comprehension efficacy Fe-based fertilizers’ chlorosis. comprehensive approach not only contributes fundamental Fe-deficient but also establishes robust method determining correcting deficiency

Exploring the Role of Debaryomyces hansenii as Biofertilizer in Iron-Deficient Environments to Enhance Plant Nutrition and Crop Production Sustainability

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 25(11), С. 5729 - 5729

The European “Green Deal” policies are shifting toward more sustainable and environmentally conscious agricultural practices, reducing the use of chemical fertilizer pesticides. This implies exploring alternative strategies. One promising to improve plant nutrition reinforce defenses is beneficial microorganisms in rhizosphere, such as “Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria fungi”. Despite great abundance iron (Fe) Earth’s crust, its poor solubility calcareous soil makes Fe deficiency a major issue worldwide. Among promoting microorganisms, yeast Debaryomyces hansenii has been very recently incorporated, for ability induce morphological physiological key responses plants, under hydroponic culture conditions. present work takes it step further explores potential D. stimulate growth cucumber plants grown soil, where ferric chlorosis common. Additionally, study examines hansenii’s systemic resistance (ISR) through comparative relative expression by qRT-PCR ethylene (ET) biosynthesis (ACO1), or ET signaling (EIN2 EIN3), salicylic acid (SA) (PAL)-related genes. results mark significant milestone since not only enhances nutrient uptake stimulates flower development but could also amplify induced (ISR). Although there still much ahead, these findings make candidate be used friendly integrated crop management.
