Drought-Tolerant Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Associated with Foxtail Millet in a Semi-arid and Their Potential in Alleviating Drought Stress
The application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to agro-ecosystems is considered to have the potential for improving plant growth in extreme environments featured by water shortage. Herein, we isolated bacterial strains from foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), a drought-tolerant crop cultivated in semiarid regions in the northeast of China. Four isolates were initially selected ...
متن کاملIdentification of the drought tolerance involved candidate genes in foxtail millet through an integrated meta-analysis approach
Drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting production in the agricultural sector. Due to the need to use smart agriculture adapted to climate change, the use of drought-tolerant alternative plants with high water use efficiency is of great importance. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is one of the important drought tolerant fodder and food grains in semi-arid regions. In th...
متن کاملRelative salt tolerance of south Khorasan millets
Abstract Millets are important agricultural crops for arid regions due to short life span and their resistance to salinity and drought conditions. In Iran, three main species of millets including proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) are cultivated in Shouthern Khorasan province, eastern Iran. In order to assess inter-specific...
متن کاملPlant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve plant growth, antioxidant capacity, and essential oil properties of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) under water stress
Among abiotic stresses, drought is considered as the most important growth limiting factor, especially in arid and semiarid regions. Drought impacts can be adjusted by soil microorganisms. Accordingly, the present study was organized in order to the increase the tolerance of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)to drought using plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Treatments were wa...
متن کاملSaltgrass, a potential future landscaping plant and a suitable species for desert regions: A review
Continuous desertification of arable lands mandates use of low quality/ saline water for irrigation, especially in regions experiencing water shortage. Using low quality/ saline water for irrigation imposes more stress on plants that are already under stress in these regions. Thus, a logical solution will be to find a salt/ drought-tolerant plant species that will survive/sustain under such str...
