Salt stress is one of the rapidly growing environmental stresses all over world. Globally, 22% total cultivated and 33% irrigated agricultural area subjected to salt stress, which increasing by an average 10% per year. Due this reason, 50% cultivatable will be salt-affected in coming years. On other hand, demand for food with rise population. Salts have detrimental effects on plants such as damage photosynthetic machinery, growth retardation ultimately yield loss. However, rhizosphere...
Amongst serious biotic factors deteriorating crop yield, the most destructive pathogen of rice is
Cadmium and drought are the most destructive of abiotic stresses with negative consequences in terms impaired metabolism, restricted nutrient use efficiency disruptive photosynthesis plants. The present study investigated mitigation strategy both aforementioned by application iron oxide (IONPs) hydrogel nanoparticles (HGNPs) simultaneously probably for first time. IONPs were biofabricated using a locally identified Bacillus strain RNT1, while HGNPs produced chemically followed confirmation...
Imbalance between the accumulation and removal of nitric oxide its derivatives is a challenge faced by all plants at cellular level, especially important under stress conditions. Exposure to various biotic abiotic stresses causes rapid changes in redox tone potentiated rise reactive nitrogen species that serve as signaling molecules mediating defensive responses. To understand mechanisms mediated these molecules, we performed large-scale analysis Arabidopsis transcriptome induced nitrosative...
The use of constructed wetlands (CWs) is a promising approach for the remediation wastewater. present study aims to develop plant–bacteria system within CWs efficient tannery effluent. In vertical-flow CW vegetated with Leptochloa fusca (Kallar grass), consortium three different endophytic bacteria, Pantoea stewartii ASI11, Microbacterium arborescens HU33, and Enterobacter sp. HU38, was used bioaugmentation. only L. had potential remediate effluent, but augmentation bacteria enhanced growth...
Soil salinity severely affects plant nutrient use efficiency and is a worldwide constraint for sustainable crop production. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, with inherent tolerance, are able to enhance growth productivity by inducing modulations in various metabolic pathways. In the present study, we reported isolation characterization of salt-tolerant rhizobacterium from Kallar grass [Leptochloa fusca (L.) Kunth]. Sequencing 16S rRNA gene revealed its lineage Staphylococcus sciuri it...
Rhizobacteria contain various plant-beneficial traits and their inoculation can sustainably increase crop yield productivity. The present study describes the growth-promoting potential of Brevundimonas spp. isolated from rhizospheric soil potato Sahiwal, Pakistan. Four different putative strains TN37, TN39, TN40, TN44 were by enrichment on nitrogen-free malate medium identified as based morphology, 16S rRNA gene sequence, phylogenetic analyses. All contained nifH except TN39 exhibited...
Burkholderia glumae and B. gladioli are seed-borne rice pathogens that cause bacterial panicle blight (BPB) disease, resulting in huge yield losses worldwide. However, the excessive use of chemical pesticides agriculture has led to an increase environmental toxicity. Microbe-mediated nanoparticles (NPs) have recently gained significant attention owing their promising application plant disease control. In current study, we biologically synthesize zinc oxide (ZnONPs) from a native Bacillus...
