Overview

Pedro F. Mateos is affiliated with the University of Salamanca in Spain. Their research primarily focuses on Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with particular emphasis on Plant Science and related subfields. The scientist's work explores topics such as nematode management and characterization studies, plant-microbe interactions and immunity, legume nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, agronomic practices and intercropping systems, plant disease resistance and genetics, social impacts of COVID-19, and indoor air quality and microbial exposure.

Mateos has contributed to research published in several journals, frequently appearing in:

  • Agronomy
  • FarmaJournal
  • European Journal of Agronomy
  • Journal of Plant Interactions

Their recent publications include:

  • Selection of the Root Endophyte Pseudomonas brassicacearum CDVBN10 as Plant Growth Promoter for Brassica napus L. Crops (2020, Agronomy)
  • Yield response of common bean to co-inoculation with Rhizobium and Pseudomonas endophytes and microscopic evidence of different colonised spaces inside the nodule (2020, European Journal of Agronomy)
  • Identification of Canola Roots Endophytic Bacteria and Analysis of Their Potential as Biofertilizers for Canola Crops with Special Emphasis on Sporulating Bacteria (2021, Agronomy)
  • Role of QseG membrane protein in beneficial enterobacterial interactions with plants and Mesorhizobia (2021, Journal of Plant Interactions)
  • Búsqueda de bacterias productoras de antibióticos a partir del culturoma rizosférico (2020, FarmaJournal)

Frequent collaborators include:

  • Alejandro Jiménez-Gómez
  • Zaki Saati-Santamaría
  • Raúl Rivas
  • Encarna Velázquez
  • Esther Menéndez

The scientist's research addresses a range of subjects within plant science, with notable attention to interactions between plants and microorganisms, particularly bacterial endophytes and biofertilizers. This work also touches on traits related to plant growth promotion, symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes, and disease resistance mechanisms. Additionally, Mateos has engaged in studies on agronomic methodologies and the broader environmental and social dimensions connected to plant cultivation.
