Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Genus Burkholderia encompasses a diverse collection of bacteria that inhabit rhizospheres throughout the world. Species can provide beneficial returns for eukaryotes, such as nitrogen fixation and nodule formation in plants and biocontrol of cropping systems. Burkholderia members can also cause disease in various animals, fungi and plants. These seemingly conflicting characteristics point to the capacity of Burkholderia spp. to interact with diverse eukaryotes. Within terrestrial ecosystems, Burkholderia spp. must negotiate favourable outcomes with both the primary produce

Abstract:
Methanol is the second most abundant volatile organic compound in the atmosphere, with the majority of this methanol being produced as a waste metabolic by-product of the growth and decay of plants. There is a large disparity between the amount of methanol estimated as being produced and that which enters the atmosphere. This disparity is believed to be due to the utilisation of methanol by plant associated methylotrophs. The diversity and activity of methylotrophs associated with the root and rhizosphere of pea and wheat plants was assessed through a range of cultivation independent and depen

Abstract:
In two pot experiments using two different crop ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and two flax (Linum usitatissimum) varieties Viola and Elise, ryegrass decreased in the pool of heavy metals compared with bare soil using EDTA as extractant. NH4+ decreased the soil pH, increased EDTA-extractable Zn and increased the Zn uptake. Lime addition increased the pH and depressed Zn uptake. The pool of extractable EDTA was not changed by growing both of the flax varieties. Lime increased EDTA-extractable Cu and Pb significantly, but decreased the Zn, and pH increased in this order NH4+<NO3-<NH4++lime<NO3-+lime.

Abstract:
Denitrification is the sequential reduction of NO3- to N2, through a number of intermediary steps, one of which is N2O, a potent green house gas. N2O has a global warming potential over 300 times greater than that of CO2 over a 100 a year period (IPCC, 2007). Soils are a significant source of N2O through the microbially mediated process of denitrification. The rhizosphere is a potentially important source of N2O as rhizodeposited carbon from plant roots can support a larger and more active microbial biomass. Despite this little is known about the effects of low molecular weight carbon (LMWC) o

A number of microcosms were designed in which ryegrass could be pulse labelled with 14C-CO2, and the fate of the label determined within a plant-soil system.

The cultivation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants for their edible fruits is a worldwide industry that was valued at over $58.7B in 2011.

As a result, tomato crops remain susceptible to a large number of potentially devastating diseases which cause significant economic losses to commercial producers. These diseases are incited by a diverse group of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, nematodes and oomycetes.

Abstract:
A major uncertainty in soil carbon studies is how inputs of fresh plant-derived carbon affect the turnover of existing soil organic matter (SOM) by so-called priming effects. Priming may occur directly as a result of nutrient mining by existing microbial communities, or indirectly via microbial population adjustments. Soil type and conditions may also influence the intensity and direction of priming effects. However the mechanisms are poorly understood. The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate how additions of labile C4 substrate affected SOM turnover in two contrasting unplanted C

L'objectif de cette étude a été de préciser l'implication des processus rhizosphériques dans lesinteractions pour l'acquisition de phosphore (P) entre une céréale et une légumineuse enassociation. Nous avons proposé comme mécanisme de facilitation l'acidification de la rhizosphèredes espèces en association induite par la fixation de N2 de la légumineuse dans le cas de sol neutres àalcalins. Ainsi, l'étude s'est focalisée sur l'influence des changements de pH induits par les racines.Les effets de la disponibilité initiale en P du sol ainsi que de la distance entre les racines des espècesassocié

Abstract:
La Vigne est cultivée en système greffé, combinant les qualités de production fruitière des Vignes Européennes (Vitis vinifera) et la tolérance phylloxérique des Vignes Américaines (Vitis spp.). Cependant l’utilisation de porte-greffes américains modifie le développement, la physiologie, et l’alimentation hydrique et minérale du greffon. Plus particulièrement, le fond génétique des porte-greffes de la Vigne semble impliqué dans la régulation de la nutrition en phosphore (P) du greffon. Le phosphore est un élément nutritif essentiel pour la croissance des plantes, impliqué dans la composition d
