Endophytic microorganisms in legume roots form an important interface between soil conditions and plant health. However, field-scale evidence remains limited on how cultivable endophytic bacterial and fungal assemblages in pea roots vary with soil and climatic conditions after nodule removal. In this study, 96 healthy pea plants were collected from eight field plots in Palencia, Spain. Cultivable endophytic bacteria and fungi...

Aims Trichoderma is a filamentous fungus beneficial to crops and widely used as biofungicide. Its mechanisms of action as a biological control agent against phytopathogenic fungi include mycoparasitism and the induction of plant defense responses. On the other hand, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an important pathogen for Brassica crops, effectively suppressed by Trichoderma . The aim of this work is to determine whether T. hamat...

Neotropical freshwater fish are among the most morphologically diverse vertebrates; however, their study has long depended on preserved specimens, which limits our understanding of their natural body shapes due to preservation-induced distortions. Field photography provides a powerful, noninvasive alternative to capture the morphology of fish as it occurs in nature. However, automatically extracting accurate shape information...

Maritime pine ( Pinus pinaster ) is a conifer widely distributed in the western European Mediterranean Basin, which provides important resources, such as resin, pulpwood, wood, pellets and bark. These forests are seriously threatened by decline, which reduces the area of maritime pines in the Mediterranean Basin every year. Different crops, such as vineyards and rainfed cereals, are often established adjacent to these pine for...

Purpose Quizartinib pharmacokinetics in FLT3-ITD negative acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain largely unexplored. This study aims to validate a population pharmacokinetics model (popPK) for quizartinib in plasma samples of FLT3-ITD negative AML patients. To do so, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for the quantification of quiza...

Broccoli ( Brassica oleracea var. italica ) is a crop of great agronomic and economic importance worldwide. Because its edible parts are the inflorescences, large quantities of non-commercial biomass are produced each year in the field and in the food industry. In order to develop a circular economy around the broccoli crop, the present work develops glucosinolates (GSL) extracts with antimicrobial capacity for postharvest use...
