01/01/2005 - "Potential improvement in herbivore performance in high nutrient soils and decreased plant performance in low nutrient soils in ME- plants, compared to E- and E+ plants, suggests that loss of endophyte infection after long coevolutionary relationship may be critical to plant fitness."
06/01/2001 - "The use of the nPCR assay is recommended for applications where its improved sensitivity over standard RT-PCR is necessary, for example in the early detection of infection from bait-test soils and for quarantine and breeding purposes."
12/17/2019 - "This advance has the potential to enable quantitative studies of microbial gene expression in diverse contexts, including pathogen activities during infections.IMPORTANCE A goal for microbial ecophysiological research is to reveal microbial activities in natural environments, including sediments, soils, or infected human tissues. "
01/01/2017 - "In this study, we provide additional evidence that plants shift the structural and functional composition of the rhizosphere microbiota to suppress pathogen infection in LTM cropping soils."

09/05/2017 - "We evaluated which bioremediation strategies were most effective for degrading PAHs and estimated the cancer risks associated with PAH-contaminated soils. "
08/01/2010 - "The estimated incremental lifetime cancer risk was significantly greater for the <45 microm soil fraction compared to the bulk fraction; however, when bioaccessible PAH concentrations in a simulated small intestine were used in the risk assessment calculations, cancer risk was slightly lower in the <45 microm soil fraction for these soils. "
12/01/2022 - "The soils of the study area exhibited negligible risk in terms of the calculated hazard quotient, hazard index and incremental lifetiame cancer risk (ILCR) values for As due to dermal and ingestion exposures. "
12/01/2022 - "The study also evaluated cancer and non-cancer health risks for both males and females caused by dermal exposure of soils and dietary intake of brinjal grown in farmers' fields and sold at different markets of four country districts. "
01/01/2022 - "In this study, we reviewed the PAH concentrations, contributions of different sources to the toxicity, and cancer risks in soils from different land use types found within Beijing and Tianjin from data gathered by 41 studies. "

12/01/2013 - "The paper also emphasizes on the future challenges that will have to be addressed: a rising volatility of milk and other strategic inputs' prices (feed, machinery, cattle, etc.) in global markets, an improvement in consumers' awareness about milk quality, a further pressure on natural resources (mainly soils and water) to get more raw milk, in countries already suffering an acute water stress. "
06/01/2021 - "A study was therefore conducted to determine how N, P and K fertiliser application, would influence cassava growth on nutrient poor soils, under various water stress conditions. "

01/01/2022 - "We demonstrated that water stress differently shifted primary metabolites of tomato fruits in two soils with different nutrient conditions via non-targeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. "

01/01/2021 - "Soil flushing with all SS_WAs increased OM, HS, and exchangeable P, K and Na content in remediated soils, but decreased exchangeable Ca content, and in most cases, exchangeable Mg content. "
04/28/2015 - "The results of this study provide useful information for the operational parameters of the flushing process for soils with complex contamination."
06/19/2023 - "The Cubango River, described as a flushing system, has much steeper gradient, more compact and shallow soils and flows faster with significant rapids, whereas the peatland rich, absorbent, seepage-driven baseflow of the Cuito River sustains the Okavango Delta during the dry season. "
01/01/2023 - "Porous cup suction lysimeters were used to assess the changes in PFAA porewater concentrations as a function of PFAA mass removal from the unsaturated soils, where flushing was intermittently paused to determine ambient PFAA porewater concentrations. "
01/01/2023 - "Herein, in situ water flushing was performed at a site historically impacted with AFFF to accelerate the leaching of PFAAs from unsaturated soils in a highly characterized field test cell. "

01/10/2019 - "Overall, AZO and DPH have shown good results in amending Fe induced chlorosis in calcareous soils and for this reason should be regarded as good green-candidates for Fe plant nutrition in calcareous soils."
01/09/2014 - "mays) express as leaf chlorosis, growth retardation, as well as yield reduction and are typically observed when plants grow in calcareous soils at alkaline pH. To improve our understanding of genotypical variability in the tolerance to Fe deficiency-induced chlorosis, the objectives of this study were to (i) determine the natural genetic variation of traits related to Fe homeostasis in the maize intermated B73 × Mo17 (IBM) population, (ii) to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for these traits, and (iii) to analyze expression levels of genes known to be involved in Fe homeostasis as well as of candidate genes obtained from the QTL analysis. "
01/01/2014 - "This study evaluated whether grass intercropping can be used to alleviate Fe deficiency chlorosis in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in high pH, calcareous soils with low organic matter. "
