Although Brazilian sugarcane crops use lower nitrogen rates when compared to other producing countries, the biological nitrogen fixation (BFN) could be performed aiming to reduce costs, since almost all nitrogen fertilization ...

Using sustainable management to maximize crop yield without increasing production costs is one of the great challenges of modern agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N) supply management, ...

Azospirillum brasilense plays an important role in biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in grasses. However, further studies are needed to define how much mineral N can be applied while simultaneously maintaining BNF ...

Reorganization of the fertilized egg during completion of the first meiotic division was studied in the glossiphoniid leech Theromyzon rude. Rotation of the meiotic spindle, presumably as a result of changes in the length ...

Oleaginous microalgae have a great potential as a feedstock for biodiesel and other biofuels. However, the current cost of producing biofuels from microalgae biomass is still high to envision massive and profitable ...

The capacity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to alleviate the negative effects incited by root pathogens in a range of plant hosts has been established. On the other hand, accumulated evidence also shows that ...
