Plant-soil feedback contributes to intercrop** overyielding by reducing the negative effect of take-all on wheat and compensating the growth of faba bean
Overyielding in intercrop** compared to monoculture has been widely reported. One of the mechanisms may be the alteration of the microbial community in intercrop** and especially the amelioration of the ne...

Open AccessAstaxanthin attenuates total body irradiation-induced hematopoietic system injury in mice via inhibition of oxidative stress and apoptosis
The hematopoietic system is especially sensitive to total body irradiation (TBI), and myelosuppression is one of the major effects of TBI. Astaxanthin (ATX) is a powerful natural anti-oxidant with low toxicity...

Rhizosphere effects on ion concentrations near different root zones of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and root types of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii L.) seedlings
Micro-suction cups were installed in split-root rhizotrons to investigate changes of ion concentrations pertaining to different root zones (Norway spruce) or various root types (Douglas-fir). Plant seedlings w...

Influence of inoculation with Glomus mosseae or Acaulospora morrowiae on arsenic uptake and translocation by maize
A split root device was designed to assess the possible role of AMF in translocation and detoxification of As by maize plants. Half of each maize root system grew in As-amended or unamended soil and the remain...
