MAIZE INOCULATION WITH MICROBIAL CONSORTIA: CONTRASTING EFFECTS ON RHIZOSPHERE ACTIVITIES, NUTRIENT ACQUISITION AND EARLY GROWTH IN DIFFERENT SOILS

Maize Inoculation with Microbial Consortia: Contrasting Effects on Rhizosphere Activities, Nutrient Acquisition and Early Growth in Different Soils

The benefit of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) as plant inoculants is influenced by a wide range of environmental factors.Therefore, microbial consortia products (MCPs) based on multiple PGPM strains with complementary functions, have been proposed as superior, particularly under challenging environmental conditions and for restoratio

Embryonic transcriptome and proteome analyses on hepatic lipid metabolism in chickens divergently selected for abdominal fat content

Abstract Background In avian species, liver is Gas Tap the main site of de novo lipogenesis, and hepatic lipid metabolism relates closely to adipose fat deposition.Using our fat and lean chicken lines of striking differences in abdominal fat content, post-hatch lipid metabolism in both liver and adipose tissues has been studied extensively.However,
