The glucosinolate regulation in plant: A new view on lanthanum stimulating the growth of plant KU Leuven
Turgor-driven plant growth applied in a soybean functional–structural plant model Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Background and Aims: Turgor pressure within a plant cell represents the key to the mechanistical descriptiion of plant growth, combining the effects of both water and carbon availability. The high level of spatio-temporal variation and diurnal dynamics in turgor pressure within a single plant make it a challenge to model these on the fine spatial scale required for functional-structural plant models (FSPMs). A conceptual model for turgor-driven ...
The dark side of plant growth : the role of plant hormones in apical hook development of Arabidopsis thaliana Ghent University
Beneficial features of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria for improving plant growth and health in challenging conditions: A methodical review Hasselt University
New eco-friendly approaches are required to improve plant biomass production. Beneficial plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria may be exploited as excellent and efficient biotechnological tools to improve plant growth in various - including stressful - environments. We present an overview of bacterial mechanisms which contribute to plant health, growth, and development. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can interact with plants ...
Biocontrol of Fusarium wilt disease in pepper plant by plant growth promoting Penicillium expansum and Trichoderma harzianum University of Antwerp
Plant growth promoting fungi (PGPF) were employed in the present study to biocontrol Fusarium wilt disease in pepper plants. Two of the five fungal isolates were chosen based on biochemical characteristics such as their production of hydrocyanic acid, siderophores, and IAA, phosphate solubilization, and in vitro antifungal activities. The most potent fungal isolates were identified as Penicillium expansum (P. expansum) and Trichoderma harzianum ...
Protoplast isolation and culture from Kalanchoë species: optimization of plant growth regulator concentration for efficient callus production Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
A high yield of isolated protoplasts and efficient regeneration protocols are prerequisites for successful development of somatic hybrids. In the present study, protoplast isolation and regeneration were evaluated in 12 Kalanchoë accessions belonging to nine species. The highest protoplast yield was obtained from K. blossfeldiana ‘Charming Red Meadow’ with 10.78 ± 0.51 × 105 protoplasts per gram fresh weight. We observed significant differences ...
