abstract many agricultural researches have been performed to improve soil productivity. nitrogen (n) and phosphorus (p) are essential elements which are utilized by the plants in large amounts. phosphorus can be provided by applying chemical fertilizers. microorganisms convert insoluble phosphate to the soluble form and some bacteria such as rhizobacteria play an important role in this process....

An assessment of roles of rhizospheric microbial diversity in plant growth is helpful in understanding plant-microbe interactions. Using random combinations of rhizospheric bacterial species at different richness levels, we analysed the contribution of species richness, compositions, interactions and identity on soil microbial respiration and plant biomass. We showed that bacterial inoculation ...

Endophytic microorganism live inter or intra cellularly in most of the plant tissues without causing any disease symptoms. Endophytes are known to produce plant growth promoting compounds. Cytokinin is a group of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and can be exploited in agriculture for both pre-harvest and postharvest management of leafy vegetables, fruits and cut flowers. The objective of this st...

in the present study, we aimed to screen indigenous rhizospheric bacillus strains, capable of producing antiphytopathogenic and plant growth promoting traits. isolate cts-b19 and cts-g24 exhibited quite noticeable antagonistic activity initially against fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and rhizoctonia bataticola, and, later, against a panel of phytopathogens. partial 16s rrna sequence analysis ...

Azospirillum species are plant growth-promotive bacteria whose beneficial effects have been postulated to be partially due to production of phytohormones, including gibberellins (GAs). In this work, Azospirillum brasilense strain Cd and Azospirillum lipoferum strain USA 5b promoted sheath elongation growth of two single gene GA-deficient dwarf rice (Oryza sativa) mutants, dy and dx, when the in...

One of the important and necessary practices for improving nutrients availability in sustainable agriculture is using microorganisms. Beside the negative effects of chemical fertilizers on the soil and human health, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are known as an alternative to supply the organic nutrients of plants during the past two decades. Enriching soil fertility by eco-friendly meth...

Common fertilizers present a low use efficiency caused by nutrient losses (e.g., through leaching, volatilization, adsorption, and precipitation in solution as well microbial reduction immobilization) that create significant limiting factor crop production. Inoculation with Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) is presented an alternative to increasing fertilizer efficiency. The goal of the st...

Rhizobium is a Gram-negative bacterium, which dissolves minerals, produces growth hormones, promotes root growth, and protects plants from different soil-borne pathogens. In the present study, roots, stalks, fresh weight of maize (Zea mays L.) were significantly increased after soaking in Bradyrhizobium japonicum compared with control. Subsequently, transcriptome sequencing results whole plant ...
