Investigations were conducted to determine whether induction of PR-1a gene promoter was correlated with systemic resistance, induced by rhizobacteria, against wildfire disease of tobacco. Ten different strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), including the species Bacillus pumilus, Serratia marcescens, Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. putida, Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens, and Bukhold...

ABSTRACT We evaluated combinations of two strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) formulated with the carrier chitosan for the ability to induce growth promotion of tomato plants and resistance to infection by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Each PGPR combination included GB03 (Bacillus subtilis) and one of the following PGPR strains: SE34 (B. pumilus), IN937a (B. amyloliquefaciens)...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and assess the plant growth promoting characteristics and diversity of major tef rhizosphere isolates from central Ethiopia. A total of 162 bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere of tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] and characterized. While screening using some plant growth promoting characteristics, only about sixty six of the isolates were found t...

This study aims to examine the effect of PGPR in increasing growth and yield red chilies, find type that gives best chilies. The research was conducted at Teaching Research Farm, Faculty Agriculture, Jambi University, 35 above sea level. used a randomized block design with one factor, namely various types PGPR: without PGPR; PGPR1 (containing Trichoderma sp., Bacillus Pseudomonas 11 essential m...

The successful colonization of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the rhizosphere is an initial and compulsory step in the protection of plants from soil-borne pathogens. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the role of root exudates in the colonization of PGPR. Banana root exudates were analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) which revealed exudates contained sever...

Several chemical changes in soil are associated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Some bacterial strains directly regulate plant physiology by mimicking synthesis of plant hormones, whereas others increase mineral and nitrogen availability in the soil as a way to augment growth. Identification of bacterial chemical messengers that trigger growth promotion has been limited in par...

Seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an ideal tool to supply the soil with a high density of beneficial microorganisms. However, maintaining viable microorganisms is a major problem during seed treatment and storage. In this work, an evaluation was made of the effect of bacterial immobilization in nanofibers on the stability (viability and maintenance of benefici...
