Soil addition with organic amendments is an issue that receives growing attention in the agricultural sector. However, the effects of such materials on plant growth and crop yield are highly variable in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the influence of soil addition with biochar (from vine pruning residues), vermicompost (from cattle manure), and three different composts (from olive pomace or cattle anaerobic digestate), on the quali-quantitative response of Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris L. var. cycla) grown in pots. The organic amendments were applied to the soil in two doses to provide 140 and 280 kg N ha−1, respectively. Two growth cycles were considered, and, at each leaf cut, plants were analyzed for growth parameters (height, fresh weight, leaf number, and leaf area) and qualitative characteristics (nitrogen, nitrate, and pigment leaf content). Swiss chard responded positively to organic amendment and, particularly when the soil was treated with compost from animal wastes, higher plant growth and pigment leaf content were observed. Nitrate leaf content was always well below the NO3− thresholds established by the European Commission Regulations. Biochar application did not show a positive effect on the quali-quantitative characteristics of Swiss chard, likely due to benefits that may be achieved over time.

Abstract Background Salinity is one of the most serious threat to agriculture worldwide. Sugar beet is an important sugar-yielding crop and has a certain tolerance to salt. However, the molecular mechanism of salt tolerance in beta vulgaris are poorly understood. Proteomics can provide a new perspective and deeper understanding for the research of beet salt-tolerant. Results Here, leaves and roots were used to identify the differentially abundant protein species between salt-stress and control conditions in beta vulgaris. As a result, 70 and 76 DAPs were identified in leaves and roots, respectively. The functions were determined for the classification of the DAPs, mainly involved in cellular processes, environmental information processing, genetic information processing and metabolism. These processes can work cooperatively to reconstruct the favorable equilibrium of physiological and cellular homeostasis under salt stress. Some candidate DAPs are closely related to salt resistance such as choline monooxygenase, betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and F-type H+-transporting ATPase. The expressional pattern of 10 DAPs encoding genes were consistent with the iTRAQ data. Conclusions Our results demonstrated that during adaptation of beet to salt stress, leaves and roots have distinct mechanisms of molecular metabolism regulation. This study provided some significative insights into the molecular mechanism underlying the response of higher plant to salt stress, and identified some candidate proteins against salt stress.

The results show the seeds of some higher plant species, in particular beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and turnip rap (Brassica rapa L.), are capable of high germination ability in environments containing 99.9% deuterium oxide. These plant species can be used as producers for the biosynthetic production of deuterium-labeled organic compounds

Con el fin de predecir rendimientos de betacianinas de raíz de Beta vulgaris L., para uso alimentario bajo condiciones de campo, se aplicó una ecuación potencial simple, ecuación de Richard y modelo de Werker en tres agroambientes, y determinaron curvas de crecimiento, desarrollo foliar, biomasa y metabolito. Se evaluaron siete variables del rendimiento, ocho de campo, cinco abióticas, 22 físico-químicas del suelo, y dos de extracción bioquímica. Los datos fueron analizados además por componentes principales. La producción de betacianinas en raíz se relacionó inversamente con su biomasa, lo que coincide con resultados de otros autores, que indican que el tamaño y peso del betabel correlacionan negativamente con la concentración de betacianinas, aunque éstos no reportan un modelo para dicha concentración. Los rendimientos de biomasa aérea estuvieron directamente relacionados con los de betacianinas (r2?0.90), resaltando que once de 17 nutrimentos esenciales fueron determinantes. Al quedar definidos los factores bióticos y abióticos que afectan el desarrollo de raíz, en los sitios de estudio, contra rendimientos de betacianinas, es posible gestionar bajo el modelo aplicado, las variables más significativas para optimizar el rendimiento, calidad y rentabilidad industrial en cada agroambiente.
