Influence of the Rhizobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides KE149 and Biochar on Waterlogging Stress Tolerance in Glycine max L.

In the context of current climate change and increasing population scenarios, waterlogging stress in plants represents a global threat to sustainable agriculture production. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria biochar have been widely reported mitigate effects several abiotic stresses. Hence, present study, we examined effect rhizobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides KE149 on soybean subjected sufficient water supply conditions. Our results revealed that inoculation significantly improved plant morphological attributes, such as root length, shoot fresh biomass. The biochemical analysis showed two treatments determined significant drop levels endogenous phytohormones (such abscisic acid) under normal conditions, which were considerably enhanced stress. However, jasmonic acid content increased with application it decreased Moreover, proline, methionine, aspartic increased, whereas phenolic flavonoid contents reduced These suggest can be safe biological tool improve physiology productivity exposed
