The long-term effect of pulse crops such as pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and mungbean (Vigna radiata in crop rotation nutrient management on soil microbial functions enzymes activity was studied. We presumed that pulse-inclusive rotations integrated would have higher biomass carbon compared with continuous maize (Zea mays - wheat (Triticum aestivum rotation. used a thirteen years old experiment Typic Ustochrept Kanpur, India. treatments consisted four...
Pink-pigmented facultatively methylotrophic bacteria (PPFMs), persistent colonizers of plant leaf surfaces, belong to the genus Methrlobacterium and are mostly transmitted through seeds. Plant growth-promoting activity their effects on disease suppression were evaluated rice under greenhouse conditions. Rice seeds inoculated with Methylobacterium sp. strain PPFM-Os-07 seed germination was in terms morphometric measurements, seedling growth, rate (R(subscript G)), vigour index (SVI). Another...
Two isolates from rhizosphere soil of cotton, designated Gh-67(T) and Gh-48(T), which produced large amounts extracellular polysaccharide possessed plant-growth-promoting traits, were characterized phenotypically genotypically. The strains Gram-negative cells non-motile rods that grew optimally at 28°C between pH 4 7. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis Gh-48(T) placed them in the genus Mucilaginibacter, with pairwise similarity type related genera ranging 93.9 to 98.2 %. major fatty acids...
Three novel bacterial strains, designated Vu-144(T), Vu-7 and Vu-35, were isolated on minimal medium from rhizosphere soil of field-grown cowpea subjected to a taxonomic study using polyphasic approach. Cells the strains Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, coccoid rods, formed non-pigmented colonies. Phylogenetic analysis based 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Vu-144(T) was affiliated with an uncultivated lineage phylum Bacteroidetes. Its closest phylogenetic...
The rapid increase in soil salinization has impacted agricultural output and poses a threat to food security. There is an urgent need focus on improving fertility yield, both of which are severely influenced by abiotic variables such as salinity sodicity. Abiotic forces have rendered one-third the overall land unproductive. Microbes primary answer majority production’s above- below-ground problems. In stressful conditions, proper communication between plants beneficial microbes critical for...
A pink, aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic, motile, Gram-negative rod, designated Gh-105(T), was isolated from the phyllosphere of cotton Coimbatore (Tamilnadu, India). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed clearly that isolate belonged to Methylobacterium cluster. Strain Gh-105(T) most closely related adhaesivum AR27(T) (99% similarity) and iners 5317S-33(T) (97.5%). The grew with C(1) compounds such as methanol dichloromethane, but not formaldehyde, formate, methylamine, trimethylamine...
Laboratory experiments were conducted to explore the diversity of naturally-occurring probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) associated with honey bees and understand whether they can be used as probiotics manage bee stressors. Honey stomach, honey, bread, pollen royal jelly from different species (Apis ceranaindica Fabricius, Apis melliefra Linnaeus, florea dorsata Tetragonula iridipennis Smith) examined for presence LAB. The results indicated a rich LAB in samples analysed, 42 isolates...

The leaf blight pathogen isolated from affected leaf; fungus's dark grayish-colored, fluffy mycelia were observed PDA medium. mycelium grey to olivaceous green, profusely branched, septate. Conidiophores single or small groups, straight flexuous, septate, smooth, brown....
Abstract Cotton, a crucial commercial fibre crop, depends heavily on seed-associated characteristics like germination rate, vigour, and resistance to post-harvest deterioration for both production lint quality. Serious cellular damage during processes such as delinting, prolonged seedling emergence periods, decreased viability, increased susceptibility infections, lipid peroxidation storage pose serious problems seed The performance of seeds total crop productivity are adversely affected by...

The occurrence and role of endophytic bacterial communities in banana under different field-grown conditions have not yet been explored. Hence, a survey was conducted five cultivars – Rasthali, Hill banana, Co1, Nattu Poovan Red for the assessment endophytes grown Tamil Nadu, Southern India. From 352 isolated, 17 were selected based on distinct morpho-physiological characters. isolates grouped into eight genera, which belong to phyla Actinobacteria, Firmicutes Proteobacteria, with remarkable...
