چکیده

Induction of systemic resistance by neem cake (Azadirachta indica) and endophytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a plant growth promoting bacterium, was evaluated in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under salinity stress and fungal infection. The combination of biocontrol agent and organic matter induced tolerance against fungal infection (Macrophomina phaseolina) and salinity stress (EC= 17.3 dS, m) by producing salicylic acid 6.9–8.6 mg/ mL as compared to 2.8–4.6 mg/mL in control plants in field experiment, while polyphenols was found 3.1–3.7 mg/mL in neem cake + bacteria treated plants as compared 2.7–2.9 mg/mL in control plants. Cotton plants inoculated with M. phaseolina showed maximum infection in control plants (75%), while 37.5% plants were found infected in neem cake + P.aeruginosa treatment in field experiments. A significant (p<0.05) increase in shoot length was observed in combined treatment of neem cake + P.aeruginosa (30.5– 31.7 cm) compared to control plants (25.7–26.7 cm) kept under biotic or salinity stresses. Similarly, free radical scavenging activity was found highest in plants received P.aeruginosa in neem cake amended soil in both DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2 –azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) methods. Similar results were also observed in screen house experiment. Application of endophytic P.aeruginosa in neem cake amended soil hold promise for the induction of systemic resistance in cotton.

The biocontrol potential of Pseudomonas fluorescens against Macrophomina phaseolina and estimating the total phenol compounds of bean roots

Charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is one of the most important soil borne diseases with a broad host range including bean, which annually brings a significant damage to this plant. Biological control of charcoal rot is very important because its chemical control harms the environment, microflora and soil fertility. Chemical control of charcoal rot is also difficult and sometimes in...

Outer Membrane Protein D Gene in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and its Role in Antibiotic Resistance

Background & Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of nosocomial infection. OprD protein is a specific protein regulating the uptake of carbapenem antibiotic. Loss of OprD is the main mechanism of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa resistance to carbapenem. In this study, the presence of OprD gene is investigated in isolated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in burn patients of Ghotboddin hospital in S...
