Endophytism within Vitis represents a topic of critical relevance due to the multiple
standpoints from which it can be approached and considered. From the biological and …

Bacterial and fungal endophytes are widespread inhabitants inside plant tissues and have
been shown to assist plant growth and health. However, little is known about plant growth …

Green manure rotation is commonly used to increase soil fertility and improve crop yield.
However, the effects of this management practice on the underground microbial ecosystem …

Siderophores are iron-chelating molecules produced by microbes when intracellular iron
concentrations are low. Low iron triggers a cascade of gene activation, allowing the cell to …

Aims Soil salinization severely inhibits plant growth, leading to a low crop yield. The aim of
the current study was to isolate endophytic bacteria with the ability to promote rice growth …

For sustainable agriculture in saline soil, extensive exploitation of salt-tolerant plant growth-
promoting (PGP) bacteria and other symbiotic bacteria is required. This study was carried …

Agronomic practises, such as fertilisation and crop rotation, affect soil microbial communities
and functions. However, limited information is available regarding the relative importance of …

Soil microbiota plays a significant role in plant development and health and appears to be a
major component of certain forms of grapevine decline. A greenhouse experiment was …

The ability to solubilize fixed inorganic phosphorus (P) for plant growth is important for
increasing crop yield. More P can be released by inoculating soil with inorganic-phosphate …

Microorganisms associated with Vitis vinifera (grapevine) can affect its growth, health and
grape quality. The aim of this study was to unravel the biodiversity of the bacterial …
