Soil salinity is one of the most widespread agricultural problems which reduce the field crop productivity. Salinity disturbs the hormonal balance in plants which results in poor growth. Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is considered an economical and environment-friendly approach to combat salinity stress. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of auxin producin...

Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum (Huber ex Ducke) occurs naturally in the Brazilian Amazon. Currently, it is being planted extensively because of its fast growth and excellent use in forestry. Consequently, there is great interest in new strategies to increase wood production. The interaction between soil microorganisms and plants, specifically in the roots, provides essential nutrients fo...

The diversity of flora in Kalimantan influences the presence microbe-associated with rhizosphere on their activities and functions ecosystems. However, abiotic stress such as acidification, drought, toxic soil residues negatively impacted health plant growth some regions Kalimantan's soil. rhizobacteria, a group plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), can colonize to produce natural produc...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have a major impact on plant nutrition, defence against pathogens, a plant's reaction to stressful environments, soil fertility, and a plant's relationship with other microorganisms. Such effects imply a broad reprogramming of the plant's metabolic activity. However, little information is available regarding the role of AMF and their relation to other soil pla...

Soil borne plant pathogens cause annual economic losses in most of the crops. In nature microbial interactions involve competition, hyper parasitism or antibiosis and these phenomena play an important role in striking ecological balance and keeping several plant pathogens in check. It is observed that plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) influence the growth and yield of many plants. In ...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to influence plant growth by various direct or indirect mechanisms. In search of efficient PGPR strains with multiple activities, a total of 150 bacterial isolates belonging to Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Azotobacter and Rhizobium were isolated from different rhizospheric soil of chick pea in the vicinity of Allahabad. These test isolates were bi...

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...

effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (glomus mossea ca) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) of bacillus pantea and psedomonas putida were evaluated on growth parameters of osteospermum (osteospermum hybrida ‘passion mix’) under different watering conditions (field capacity, two and one third of field capacity). arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (amf) and pgpr were applied as single ...
