While it is becoming increasingly clear that plant cells sense and respond to salinity stress by activating multiple sensing networks, much of our knowledge on root salt sensing and signalling has utilized uniform conditions, with no such studies attempted for heterogeneous salinities. Such experiments will generate valuable information on how salt sensing at the single…

We aimed to investigate: the effects of different management practices on the soil microbial community, the relationship between soil physicochemical and biochemical properties and the microbial community structure, and the most sustainable management system to promote a more abundant microbial community. The application of oat straw to soil has increased the organic carbon content and, as a consequence,…
