Effects of thermopriming and bacteria-mediated heat-stress acclimation strategies on seed yield and quality criteria in Brassica napus cv Aviso and Camelina sativa cv Calena.

The effects of intense heat during the reproductive phase of two Brassica species-B. napus and C. sativa-could be alleviated by a prior gradual increase exposure and/or PGPR inoculation.

Impact of PGPR inoculation on root morphological traits and root exudation in rapeseed and camelina: interactions with heat stress.

Root exudation is involved in the recruitment of beneficial microorganisms by trophic relationships and/or signalling pathways. Among beneficial microorganisms, Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to improve plant growth and stress resistance. These interactions are of particular importance for species that do not interact with mycorrhizal fungi, such as rapeseed (Brassica napus L.
