Few publications in the scientific literature document effects of seaweed extracts on
winegrape varieties. A 2-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of foliar …

Small reducing and linear oligo-β-(1,3)-glucans, which are able to act as phytoallexin elicitors
or as immunostimulating agents in anticancer therapy, were synthesized according to an …

Several studies have revealed that both sulfur (S) and silicon (Si) nutrition play a pivotal role
in alleviating drought stress tolerance in plants. Additionally, Si application has also been …

In temperate trees, optimal timing and quality of flowering directly depend on adequate
winter dormancy progression, regulated by a combination of chilling and warm temperatures. …

Sulfate substituents naturally occurring in biomolecules, such as oligosaccharides and
polysaccharides, can play a critical role in major physiological functions in plants and animals. …

Drought is one of the major stress factors reducing cereal production worldwide. There is
ample evidence that the mineral nutrient status of plants plays a critical role in increasing plant …

Inducing resistance in plants by the application of elicitors of defense reactions is an attractive
plant protection strategy, particularly for grapevine (Vitis vinifera), which is susceptible to …

Background Metabolomics based on mass spectrometry analysis are increasingly applied
in diverse scientific domains, notably agronomy and plant biology, in order to understand …

Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of phytohormones regulating branching/tillering, and their
biosynthesis has been associated with nutritional signals and plant adaptation to nutrient-…

Identification of early sulphur (S) deficiency indicators is important for species such as
Brassica napus, an S-demanding crop in which yield and the nutritional quality of seeds are …
