Summary: Modifying farming practices and breeding can improve water and nutrient use efficiency by regulating root growth. This study used stable isotopes and soil coring to measure the root water uptake of summer maize in response to planting density and nitrogen fertilization. The results showed that root water uptake increased with root-length density, and nitrogen fertilization affected the locations from which roots obtained water more significantly than planting density. Reducing nitrogen application promoted root penetration to access subsoil nutrients and enhanced water uptake, while increasing planting density benefited water uptake from the topsoil.

Summary: This study identified a gene, ZmAMT3;1, in maize roots that plays a crucial role in the uptake of ammonium, enhancing the plant's ability to acquire nitrogen from the soil through symbiotic interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs). The research also revealed that AMFs can regulate the expression and activity of other nitrogen transport proteins in the root epidermis, indicating a trade-off between mycorrhizal and direct root nitrogen uptake pathways.

Summary: This study investigated the subcellular distribution of foliar-applied phosphorus in maize plants with phosphorus deficiency. The results showed that phosphorus was primarily absorbed into the cytosol within the first 6 hours, leading to increased mRNA levels of PHT1 transporters. Additionally, phosphorus exhibited a rapid translocation into younger shoots and influenced the uptake of NO3-.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of maize varieties under different conditions of phosphorus availability, providing a new perspective for future studies that seek to increase phosphorus availability to plants. In low availability, there is a negative feedback control of photoassimilates export, which results in reduced photosynthesis, growth, and biomass accumulation. The relationship between photosynthesis and biomass accumulation can vary depending on the genetic composition.

Summary: The study showed that zinc-solubilizing bacteria, specifically Burkholderia cepacia and Acinetobacter baumannii, promoted plant growth by solubilizing zinc compounds and producing organic acids. The bacterial treatments resulted in increased height and root length in maize plants, as well as higher levels of sugar and protein content. This research suggests that these bacterial strains could be potential bio-inoculants for enhancing plant growth and biofortifying maize to address malnutrition issues.

Summary: Endophytic fungi colonize plant tissues without causing disease symptoms, benefiting both the host plant and themselves. They have been found to provide direct benefits through nutrient acquisition and phytohormone production, as well as indirect benefits such as inducing resistance, producing antibiotics and secondary metabolites, producing siderophores, and protecting against abiotic and biotic stresses. The mechanisms of these interactions are discussed in depth.

Summary: Five years after the failure of the Fundao Dam in Brazil, the Renova Foundation, responsible for the rehabilitation of the Doce River Basin, has not published any scientific reports on their rehabilitation interventions. This study evaluated the fluvial and riparian rehabilitation efforts of Renova and found that their attempts had low success rates due to issues with the techniques used and the presence of toxic compounds. Recommendations include changing the rehabilitation techniques to utilize vegetation covers and adopting ecologically-based remediation strategies to mitigate the impact of toxic substances.

Summary: Plant growth-promoting bacteria have the ability to promote plant growth and development through the synthesis of IAA. However, it is unclear whether the joint inoculation of Bacillus subtilis and Azospirillum brasilense can reduce plant development due to excess IAA production. This study found that the mixture of these bacteria can reduce certain parameters of plant development, possibly through interference in the mode of action of growth promotion, rather than an excess of IAA produced by the bacteria.
