Iron is essential in cell redox reactions and chlorophyll biosynthesis, its bioavailability is usually low in alkaline soils. Strategies for the acquisition of iron in plants are insufficient to alleviate the stress induced ...

The genus Pinus spp. includes approximately 110 species, of which around 50% live in Mexico. In many occasions the process of plant growth can be accelerated by the participation of soil microorganisms. The dimethylhexadecylamine ...

In the present work the capacity of the rhizobacteria A. agilis UMCV2 and its volatile dimethylhexadecylamine compound (DMHDA) was evaluated on strawberry production process, in its different stages. The results showed ...

Plants perceive many environmental signals that modulate plant morphogenesis and gene expression. Ecological interactions, such as plant-plant or plant microbe relationships, as well as nutrient availability, are important ...

Leguminosae represents the second-most important plant family in agriculture given their extensive uses, including as a food source for human and cattle, and as a raw material for the industry. One of the most important ...

The rhizosphere is an area between the soil and the root is influenced directly by plant exudates, in this area are also microorganisms such as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) that are capable of stimulating ...

Endophytes are microorganisms that reside in the interior of the tissues’ host plant in a commensal or beneficial manner. Endophytes play a very important role in the stimulation of plant growth and defense in their host ...

The consumption of bean seeds has been shown to prevent chronic-degenerative diseases. There are also reports of the use of roots and leaves of bean in traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases. Phenolic ...

Soil is an environment inhabited by diverse microorganisms, including bacteria. In the soil also grow the plant roots that interact with the microorganisms, shaping a microecosystem named rhizosphere. Plants and rizobacteria ...

In the present study the effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by various rhizobacteria, including Arthrobacter agilis UMCV2, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, L2-64 Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and ...
