Grewling,Adela Montserrat Gutiérrez Bustillo,Margrét Hallsdóttir,Marie-Claire Kockhans-Bieda,Concepción De Linares,Dorota Myszkowska,Anna Páldy,Adriana Sanchez,Matt Smith,Michel Thibaudon,Alessandro Travaglini,A. Uruska,Rosa María Valencia-Barrera,Despoina Vokou,Reinhard Wachter,Letty A. de Weger,Annette Menzel +27 more
TL;DR: An increasing trend in the yearly amount of airborne pollen for many taxa in Europe is revealed, which is more pronounced in urban than semi-rural/rural areas, and it is suggested the anthropogenic rise of atmospheric CO levels may be influential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient and sensitive identification and quantification of airborne pollen using next-generation DNA sequencing
Ken Kraaijeveld,Ken Kraaijeveld,Letty A. de Weger,Marina Ventayol Garcia,Henk P. J. Buermans,Jeroen Frank,Pieter S. Hiemstra,Johan T. den Dunnen +7 more
TL;DR: This method for identification and quantification of airborne pollen using DNA sequencing is presented and it is shown that it provides an accurate qualitative and quantitative view of the species composition of samples of pollen grains.
Journal ArticleDOI
An emerging class of air pollutants: Potential effects of microplastics to respiratory human health?
Luís Fernando Amato-Lourenço,Luciana dos Santos Galvão,Letty A. de Weger,Pieter S. Hiemstra,Martina G. Vijver,Thais Mauad +5 more
TL;DR: Current understanding of the exposure characteristics of airborne plastic debris in urbanized areas is discussed, focusing on concentration, size, morphology, presence of additives and distributions of different polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial stimulation of plant growth and protection from disease
TL;DR: Plant root colonization is crucial as the delivery system in all of the mechanisms used by microbes to achieve plant growth promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colonization of the rhizosphere of crop plants by plant-beneficial pseudomonads.
Letty A. de Weger,Arjan J. van der Bij,Linda C. Dekkers,Marco Simons,Carel A. Wijffelman,Ben J. J. Lugtenberg +5 more
TL;DR: This review discusses some recent studies that focus on root colonization and the bacterial traits that are involved in colonization in the rhizosphere.
