The colonization of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) along roots in turn facilitates their ability to promote growth and health. In this study, we found that Bacillus subtilis strain WM13-24 from the rhizosphere Haloxylon ammodendron was able both Arabidopsis its host plant. Furthermore, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could by stimulating lateral root formation hair growth. Howeve...

The rehabilitation of sandy desertified land in various dryland ecosystems by different management practices has a great potential to increase aggregate stability and improve soil quality. However, plants in general may have a different ability to sustain soil. The objective was to determine the effects of reclamation practices including Haloxylon ammodendron and Atriplex canescens plantation o...

The saline character of water imposes restrictions on plant growth and survival in the Taklamakan Desert, China. Experiments were conducted woody species, Tamarix ramosissima, Populus euphratica, Haloxylon ammodendron grown under different levels salinity to elucidate their adaptation a environment. H. accumulated large amounts Na+ Cl- leaves. P. euphratica restricted redundant transport shoots...

Abstract. Variations in precipitation and atmospheric N deposition affect water availability desert thus may have significant effects on ecosystems. Haloxylon ammodendron is a dominant plant Asian desert, addressing its physiological acclimatization to the changes can provide insight into how plants adapt extreme environments by adjustment. Carbon isotope ratio (?13C) has been suggested as sens...

Haloxylon ammodendron is a dominant plant Asian desert, addressing its physiological acclimatization to the changes can provide insight into how plants adapt extreme environments by adjustment. Carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) has been suggested as sens...

Drought and soil salinity reduce agricultural output worldwide. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can enhance plant growth and augment plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Haloxylon ammodendron, a C4 perennial succulent xerohalophyte shrub with excellent drought and salt tolerance, is naturally distributed in the desert area of northwest China. In our previous work, a bacte...
