Recent advances in microalgae-based vitamin D metabolome: Biosynthesis, and production.

Vitamin D (VD) production-based microalgae biosynthesis presents various benefits including sustainability, fast expansion, and the capacity to generate substantial quantities. However, this approach suffers from serious challenges that require effective cultivation methods and extraction processes. Indeed, further researches are of significant interest to understand the biosynthesis pathways, enhance the processes, and ensure its viability.

Lipidomic Profiling of Argania spinosa L. (Skeels) Following Drought Stress.

Argan tree is frequently constrained by environmental stresses, especially drought. Lipids play crucial roles in stress adaptation, but lipidomic profiles in Argania spinosa under drought stress is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify lipid components potentially responsive to drought stress from leaves in the four argan ecotypes.

Investigation of bacterial diversity using 16S rRNA sequencing and prediction of its functionalities in Moroccan phosphate mine ecosystem.

Native plants in extreme environments may harbor some unique microbial communities with particular functions to sustain their growth and tolerance to harsh conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the bacterial communities profiles in some native plants and samples of the Moroccan phosphate mine ecosystem by assessing the percentages of taxonomic identification using six hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA. The rhizosphere of the three wild plants in the Moroccan phosphate mine is characterized by interesting bacterial diversity including Proteobacteria (62.

Chemical Composition and Insecticidal Potential of Six Essential Oils from Morocco against (Cockerell) under Field and Laboratory Conditions.

The carmine cochineal (Cockerell) is the major insect pest of the prickly-pear cactus (L.) in Morocco. The present study investigated the insecticidal activities of six essential oils (EOs) against nymphs and adult females of applied singly or in combination with a detergent under laboratory and field conditions.

Nitrogen Fixing Species as Potential Soil Biological Enhancers for Crop Nutrition and Yield Stability.

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) refers to a microbial mediated process based upon an enzymatic "Nitrogenase" conversion of atmospheric nitrogen (N) into ammonium readily absorbable by roots. N-fixing microorganisms collectively termed as "diazotrophs" are able to fix biologically N in association with plant roots. Specifically, the symbiotic rhizobacteria induce structural and physiological modifications of bacterial cells and plant roots into specialized structures called nodules.
