Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are commonly used as inoculants for improving the and yield of agricultural crops, however screening selection effective PGPR strains is very critical. This study focuses on basis their potential in vitro auxin production plant activity under gnotobiotic conditions.A large number bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere soil wheat plants grown at different sites. Thirty isolates showing prolific agar medium selected evaluated to produce auxins...
This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that bacterial strains possessing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)-deaminase activity may also promote growth of inoculated plants and could increase nodulation in legumes upon co-inoculation with rhizobia.Several rhizobacteria were isolated from maize rhizosphere through enrichment on ACC as a sole N source. Purified isolates screened for promotion under axenic conditions vitro ACC-deaminase activity. A significant positive...
Abstract Nanotechnology opens a large scope of novel applications in the fields plant nutrition needed to meet future demands growing population because nanoparticles (NPs) have unique physicochemical properties, i.e. high surface area, reactivity, tunable pore size, and particle morphology. Management optimum nutrients for sustainable crop production is priority-based area research agriculture. In this regard, nanonutrition has proved be most interesting concerns with provision nano-sized...
This study determined the total and speciated arsenic (As) concentrations other health-related water quality parameters for unraveling health risk of As from drinking to humans. Groundwater samples (n = 62) were collected three previously unexplored rural areas (Chichawatni, Vehari, Rahim Yar Khan) Punjab in Pakistan. The mean median groundwater 37.9 12.7 µg·L−1 (range 1.5–201 µg·L−1). Fifty percent showed higher value than WHO safe limit 10 µg·L−1. Speciation 13) presence inorganic only;...
Polyethylene (PE) waste disposal is a major issue now days that poses serious threats to human and environmental health. Among the methods of dealing with problem, photocatalytic degradation in visible light an alternative option has received attention recently. The photo catalyst, generally used, titania nanoparticle form. In current study, complexity employing larger surface area nanomaterial form nanotubes been investigated. Prepared nanostructures were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, BET...
Rhizobacteria may promote plant growth by cleaving plant‐produced 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid (ACC) through ACC‐deaminase activity. The effectiveness of plant‐growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for improving the and yield wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) was evaluated under salinity stress. effect high ethylene concentrations on performance these strains reducing this negative impact also conducting a classical triple‐response bioassay. Eighteen rhizobacterial containing were...
