In present study Bacillus spp. screened for drought tolerance could tolerate minimal water potential (-0.73 MPa) were evaluated plant growth promoting properties at –0.73 MPa. Drought stress affected of isolates as indicated by increased intracellular free amino acids, proline, total soluble sugars, and exopolysaccharides. Drought-tolerant HYD-B17, HYTAPB18, HYDGRFB19, BKB30, RMPB44 identified amyloliquefaciens, licheniformis, thuringiensis, Paenibacillus favisporus, subtilis based on 16S...
The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of plant growth promoting thermotolerant Pseudomonas putida strain AKMP7 on wheat plants heat stress. results indicated superior performance by P. in improving survival and under bacterium significantly increased root shoot length, dry biomass, tiller, spike let grain formation over uninoculated plants. Inoculation reduced membrane injury activity several antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, APX CAT improved levels cellular metabolites...
Background: Endophytic bacteria release active metabolites by utilizing nutrients secreted plants and induce gene expression enhance plant growth under abiotic stresses. Objective: To understand the dynamics of drought markers (27 genes) in endophyte Acinetobacter sp. associated maize compared to control using quantitative real-time PCR (qRTPCR). Method Result: Four endophytic Pseudomonas putida FMZR9, baumannii MZ30V92, Enterobacter asburiae MRC12, Sinorhizobium meliloti MRC31 screened for...
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that produce 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase can alleviate plant growth constraints caused by water scarcity. In the present study, six PGPR strains were evaluated to several promoting, and ACC enzyme isolated from rhizosphere soil of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in arid regions Telangana State, India. According their 16S rDNA sequencing analysis, only one strains, MZ 3-ABF, belongs Agrobacterium larrymoorie. A drought tolerance...
