Pichia anomala inhibits the growth of Penicillium roqueforti and Aspergillus candidus on agar. In this investigation, antagonistic activity on agar against 17 mold species was determined. The abilities of Pichia anomala, Pichia guilliermondii, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to inhibit the growth of the mold Penicillium roqueforti in nonsterile high-moisture wheat were compared by adding 10(3) Pen...

wheat (triticum aestivum) growth and yield are depressed by physical and chemical interference of weeds. recently, wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) population has increased in wheat fields of many provinces of iran. since, little is known about the allelopathic effects of wild barley residues in soil, greenhouse studies were conducted to examine the effects of soil amended residues of wild barl...

abstract among rhizospheric bacteria, great attention has been paid to the group of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr), and their role in increasing the growth and health of plants. therefore, it is used largely as inoculum all over the world. the rhizospheric bacterium, which has the genus of flavobacterium, and promotes plants growth, has been studied in recent years. in the present ...

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and other mammals. Most dietary Se is derived from crops. To develop a Se biofortification strategy for wheat, the effect of selenate fertilization and bacterial inoculation on Se uptake and plant growth was investigated. YAM2, a bacterium with 99% similarity to Bacillus pichinotyi, showed many plant growth promoting characteristics. Inocul...

Pseudomonas fluorescens strains III107 and II21 and Bacillus mycoides strains JC192 and K184, stimulating growth of winter wheat, were chosen for the studies. The bacterial strains inhibited on agar nutrient medium the growth of Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt)--the pathogenic fungus causing take-all on wheat. Both strains of pseudomonads synthesized relatively high amounts of Fe3+ ch...

Low temperature during reproductive stage of spring wheat causes sterility of pollen grains and reduced yield. Field experiment was conducted during the winter season in the farm of Indian Agricultural Research Institute with wheat crop to study the effect of temperature on phenology and pollen sterility of spring wheat crop. Lower mean temperature during the crop growth period led to enhanced ...

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limit crop growth and productivity. This study focuses on the effects of different strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the physiological responses of two wheat cultivars under normal and salt stress conditions. The wheat cultivars selected include one which is tolerant to salinity (Kavir) and one which is sensitiv...
