Combined Use of a Bacterial Consortium and Early-Colonizing Plants as a Treatment for Soil Recovery after Fire: A Model Based on Los Guájares (Granada, Spain) Wildfire.

During 2022, intense heat waves, together with particularly extreme dry conditions, created a propitious scenario for wildfires, resulting in the area of vegetation consumed in Europe doubling. Mediterranean countries have been particularly affected, reaching 293,155 hectares in Spain, the worst data in the last 15 years. The effects on the vegetation and the soil are devastating, so knowing the recovery factors is essential for after-fire management.

Geographically Disperse, Culturable Seed-Associated Microbiota in Forage Plants of Alfalfa ( L.) and Pitch Clover ( L.): Characterization of Beneficial Inherited Strains as Plant Stress-Tolerance Enhancers.

Agricultural production is being affected by increasingly harsh conditions caused by climate change. The vast majority of crops suffer growth and yield declines due to a lack of water or intense heat. Hence, commercial legume crops suffer intense losses of production (20-80%).

Dysfunction of histone demethylase IBM1 in Arabidopsis causes autoimmunity and reshapes the root microbiome.

Root microbiota is important for plant growth and fitness. Little is known about whether and how the assembly of root microbiota may be controlled by epigenetic regulation, which is crucial for gene transcription and genome stability. Here we show that dysfunction of the histone demethylase IBM1 (INCREASE IN BONSAI METHYLATION 1) in Arabidopsis thaliana substantially reshaped the root microbiota, with the majority of the significant amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) being decreased.

Seed-Encapsulation of Desiccation-Tolerant Microorganisms for the Protection of Maize from Drought: Phenotyping Effects of a New Dry Bioformulation.

Droughts and high temperatures deeply affect crop production. The use of desiccation-tolerant (or xerotolerant) microorganisms able to protect plants from droughts represents a promising alternative. These xerotolerant microorganisms have previously been used to modulate plant responses and improve their tolerance to drought.

Proteome Comparison Between Natural Desiccation-Tolerant Plants and Drought-Protected Plants by sp. 3J1.

Desiccation-tolerant plants are able to survive for extended periods of time in the absence of water. The molecular understanding of the mechanisms used by these plants to resist droughts can be of great value for improving drought tolerance in crops. This understanding is especially relevant in an environment that tends to increase the number and intensity of droughts.

Complete Genome Sequence of Bacillus megaterium Strain TG1-E1, a Plant Drought Tolerance-Enhancing Bacterium.

Based on a combination of next-generation sequencing and single-molecule sequencing, we obtained the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus megaterium strain TG1-E1, which is a highly salt-tolerant rhizobacterium that enhances plant tolerance to drought stress. The complete genome is estimated to be approximately 5.48 Mb containing a total of 5,858 predicted protein-coding DNA sequences.
