USE OF ORGANIC MULCH TO ENHANCE WATER-USE EFFICIENCY AND PEACH PRODUCTION UNDER LIMITING SOIL CONDITIONS IN A THREE-YEAR-OLD ORCHARD

Use of organic mulch to enhance water-use efficiency and peach production under limiting soil conditions in a three-year-old orchard

Mulching techniques have emerged in recent years to overcome soil constraints and improve fruit tree productivity.The object of this study was to evaluate the effects of a low-cost organic mulch application in a newly planted peach orchard under a ridge planting system.Three treatments were performed in 12 elementary plots using a randomized comple

Ras GTPase-like protein MglA, a controller of bacterial social-motility in Myxobacteria, has evolved to control bacterial predation by Bdellovibrio.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus invade Gram-negative bacteria in a predatory process requiring Type IV pili (T4P) at a single invasive pole, and also glide on surfaces moondrop quarks to locate prey.Ras-like G-protein MglA, working with MglB and RomR in the deltaproteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus, regulates adventurous gliding and T4P-mediated social mo
