The Potential Role of Microbial Biostimulants in the Amelioration of Climate Change-Associated Abiotic Stresses on Crops

Ayomide Emmanuel Fadiji et al.

Summary: Crop plants are increasingly facing abiotic stresses due to climate change, and the use of microbial biostimulants can be an effective strategy to enhance plant productivity and performance. Examples of beneficial microbial biostimulants include filamentous fungi, yeasts, and bacteria, which can improve growth, yield, nutrition, and stress tolerance in plants. Further studies are needed to develop more targeted products for efficient use under diverse climatic conditions.

A Biostimulant Based on Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum and Laminaria digitata) and Yeast Extracts Mitigates Water Stress Effects on Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Cristina Campobenedetto et al.

Summary: The use of the biostimulant ERANTHIS, based on seaweed and yeast extracts, was tested on tomato plants grown under mild water-stress conditions, showing lower stress-related substances and ROS scavenger enzyme activity, as well as higher stem water potential and photosynthetic pigment levels compared to untreated plants. These results suggest that ERANTHIS may mitigate water stress effects on tomato plants.

Flowering gene regulation in tomato plants treated with brown seaweed extracts

Madhavi Dookie et al.

Summary: Liquid extracts of seaweeds have shown potential as biostimulants for agricultural plants, improving growth and yield parameters in crop plants. A study on tomato plants treated with brown seaweed extracts revealed significant increases in flower buds, flowers, and fruit numbers. Transcriptional analysis indicated enhanced expression levels of important flowering genes, supporting the potential role of seaweed extracts in promoting flowering in horticultural crops.

Ascophyllum nodosum extract improves leaf thermoregulation by reducing stomatal sensitivity to VPD in Vitis vinifera L.

Sergio Tombesi et al.

Summary: The study found that Ascophyllum nodosum extract can increase plant tolerance to drought stress, promote grapevine recovery under water stress and light/temperature stress conditions. It works by reducing stomatal sensitivity to vapor pressure deficit, increasing transpiration and improving leaf thermoregulation, potentially limiting leaf damage during extreme temperature events even without water stress.

Effects of Seaweed Extracts on the Growth, Physiological Activity, Cane Yield and Sucrose Content of Sugarcane in China

Diwen Chen et al.

Summary: Seaweed extracts (SEs) are widely used as biostimulants in crop management due to their growth-promoting and stress-resistant effects. Spraying SEs during the early elongation stage plays a vital role in promoting sugarcane growth and improving the efficiency of nutrient utilization, with better yield-increasing effects observed in years with less rainfall. Additionally, spraying SEs at the M stage can increase sucrose content and enzyme activity, contributing to higher cane yield and sucrose accumulation, especially under drought stress conditions.

Improving Growth, Yield, and Quality of Tomato Plants (Solanum lycopersicum L) by the Application of Moroccan Seaweed-Based Biostimulants under Greenhouse Conditions

Abir Mzibra et al.

Summary: The study found that polysaccharide-enriched extracts from seaweeds can enhance the growth, yield, and fruit quality of tomato plants. Principal component analysis revealed that the presence of sulfate, galactose, glucose, and maltose in the characterized polysaccharides was closely associated with their effects on plant growth, yield, and fruit quality parameters.
