Dynamic root exudate chemistry and microbial substrate preferences drive patterns in rhizosphere microbial community assembly.

Kateryna Zhalnina, +16 more
- 19 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that pre-programmed developmental processes in plants result in consistent patterns in the chemical composition of root exudates, which provides a mechanistic underpinning for the process of rhizosphere microbial community assembly and provides an attractive direction for the manipulation of the Rhizosphere microbiome for beneficial outcomes.

Genetic Characterization and Functional Analysis of the GID1 Gibberellin Receptors in Arabidopsis

Jayne Griffiths, +10 more
- 01 Feb 2007 - 
TL;DR: Yeast two-hybrid and in vitro pull-down assays confirmed that GA enhances the interaction between GID1 and DELLA proteins, and showed that the GA-GID1 complex promotes the interactionbetween RGA and the F-box protein SLY1, a component of the SCFSLY1 E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets the DeLLA protein for degradation.

Nutritional quality of important food legumes

Amjad Iqbal, +3 more
- 01 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the proximate composition, mineral constituents and amino acid profile of four important legumes (chickpea, lentil, cowpea and green pea) were studied in order to evaluate their nutritional performance.

The distribution of microplastics in soil aggregate fractions in southwestern China.

G.S. Zhang, +1 more
- 15 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: Investigation of abundance and distribution of plastic particles among soil aggregate fractions in four cropped areas and an established riparian forest buffer zone at Dian Lake, southwestern China shows that the abundance of aggregate-associated plastic fibers is significantly greater in the micro-aggregate than that in the macro-agg aggregate.

The biofloc technology (BFT) in indoor tanks: Water quality, biofloc composition, and growth and welfare of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

M.E. Azim, +1 more
- 01 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: Overall fish growth and production was poor in terms of commercial feasibility and a modified system design that would allow enhanced feed and biofloc utilization is proposed.
