Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) hold promising future for sustainable agriculture. Here, we demonstrate a carotenoid producing halotolerant PGPR Dietzia natronolimnaea STR1 protecting wheat plants from salt stress by modulating the transcriptional machinery responsible for salinity tolerance in plants. The expression studies confirmed the involvement of ABA-signalling cascade, as Ta...

Management of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), in bell pepper, Capsicum annuum L., was explored through a combination of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and endemic biological control in New York in 2006 and 2007. We hypothesized that by using PGPR-treated peppers 1) M. persicae infestations would be reduced via induced resistance, 2) natural enemie...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial plant symbionts that have been successfully used in agriculture to increase seedling emergence, plant weight, crop yield, and disease resistance. Some PGPR strains release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can directly and/or indirectly mediate increases in plant biomass, disease resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance. This mini-...

Salinity is a major environmental stress that limits crop production worldwide. In this study, we characterized plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) containing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase and examined their effect on salinity stress tolerance in okra through the induction of ROS-scavenging enzyme activity. PGPR inoculated okra plants exhibited higher germination per...

سابقه و هدف: گیاه­ پالایی مقرون­ به­ صرفه سازگار با محیط زیست است که در آن گیاه از توانایی‌‌های طبیعی خود برای بازیابی استفاده ‌‌می‌‌‌کند. گیاهان مورد باید توانایی انباشت مقادیر زیادی آلاینده‌‌های فلزی را بدون ایجاد سمیت آنها داشته باشند. امروزه افزایش جمعیت جهان به دنبال توسعه صنایع کارخانه‌‌ها، بر میزان پساب‌‌های وارده غالبا حاوی فلزات سنگین مختلف ‌‌می‌‌‌باشند، افزوده ‌‌می‌‌‌شود. تاثیرات مخرب...
