Coupling Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria with Phosphorus Supplements Improve Maize Phosphorus Acquisition and Growth under Lime Induced Salinity Stress.

Global warming promotes soil calcification and salinization processes. As a result, soil phosphorus (P) is becoming deficient in arid and semiarid areas throughout the world. In this pot study, we evaluated the potential of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) for enhancing the growth and P uptake in maize under varying levels of lime (4.

QTL mapping for microtuber dormancy and GA content in a diploid potato population.

The genetic control of dormancy is poorly understood in most plant species, but dormancy is a prominent feature for the potato industry. We used the microtuber system, in which tubers were produced and stored at 20°C, to perform quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis for dormancy and gibberellic acid (GA) content in an population consisting of 178 genotypes derived from an interspecific cross between acc. PI 320285 (long dormancy) and acc.
