Expanding eco-friendly approaches to improve plant growth and crop productivity is of great important for sustainable agriculture. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out at the Faculty Agriculture Farm, Mansoura University, Egypt during 2018 2019 growing seasons study effects different bio- organic fertilizers their combination on hybrid maize growth, yield, grain quality. Seeds were treated with Azotobacter chrocoocum, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), Bacillus circulans, biogas...
The present study aims to the effects of biofertilizers potential Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and Bradyrhizobium japonicum (B. japonicum) strains on yield growth drought stressed soybean (Giza 111) plants at early pod stage (50 days from sowing, R3) seed development (90 R5).Highest plant biomass, leaf chlorophyll content, nodulation, grain were observed in unstressed as compared with water stressed-plants R3 R5 stages. At soil rhizosphere level, AMF B. treatments improved bacterial...
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and/or Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) as natural biofertilizers on biomass, yield, and seed nutritive quality soybean (Giza 111). conditions investigated include a well-watered (WW) control irrigation withholding at development stage (R5, after 90 days from sowing) (DS). Co-inoculation with B. AMF, resulted in highest plant biomass yield under WW DS conditions. nuclear DNA content analysis suggested that...
Guar is an economically important legume crop that used for gum production. The clean and sustainable production of guar, especially in newly reclaimed lands, requires biofertilizers can reduce the use mineral fertilizers, which have harmful effects on human health environment. present study was conducted to investigate produced from Bradyrhizobium sp., Bacillus subtilis, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), individually or combinations, microbial activity, nutrients soils guar growth seed...
Salinity is a global conundrum that negatively affects various biometrics of agricultural crops. Jasmonic acid (JA) phytohormone reinforces multilayered defense strategies against abiotic stress, including salinity. This study investigated the effect JA (60 μM) on two wheat cultivars, namely ZM9 and YM25, exposed to NaCl (14.50 dSm-1) during consecutive growing seasons. Morphologically, plants primed with enhanced vegetative growth yield components. The improvement by priming associated...
The mechanisms by which seed-primed silicon dioxide nanoparticles (nSi) alleviated arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) toxicity in Brassica napus L. remain unclear. A pot study examined the physico-biochemical, cellular, molecular responses of B. exposed to Cd (10 mg/kg soil) As (50 doses with or without nSi priming. results showed that priming improved photosynthesis, seedling biomass, metabolite accumulation, restored cell structure. Upon stress, diminished oxidative stress downplaying H2O2...
Chilling stress is an important constraint for maize seedling establishment in the field. To examine role of salicylic acid (SA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) response to chilling stress, we investigated effects seed priming with SA, H2O2, SA+H2O2 combination on resistance under (13°C). Priming especially shortened germination time enhanced vigor growth as compared hydropriming non-priming treatments low temperature. Meanwhile, notably increased endogenous H2O2 SA content, antioxidant enzymes...
This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of priming with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at 0.5 mM on rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed germination under osmotic stress (OS) induced by polyethylene glycol (30 g/L PEG 6000); and salinity (S, 150 NaCl) their combination (OS+S). Priming GABA significantly alleviated detrimental effects OS, S OS+S seedling growth. The photosynthetic system water relation parameters were improved stress. treatment increased content, sugars, protein, starch...
Jasmonic acid (JA) is an important molecule that has a regulatory effect on many physiological processes in plant growth and development under abiotic stress. This study investigated the of 60 μmol L-1 JA seed priming (P) at 15 °C darkness for 24 h, foliar application (F), and/or their combination (P + F) two soybean cultivars - 'Nannong 99-6' (salt tolerant) 'Lee 68' sensitive) salinity stress (100 mmol sodium chloride (NaCl)).Salinity reduced seedling biomass compared with control...
Summary Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) to reduce the application of N fertilisers in a way that benefits environment and reduces farmers' costs is an ongoing objective for sustainable wheat production. However, whether how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affect NUE still not well explored. Three independent but complementary experiments were conducted decipher contribution roots AMF uptake utilisation wheat. We show temporal complementarity pattern between shaping...
Chromium (Cr) is a serious environmental contaminant that drastically limited the crop yields. Nitric oxide (NO) and spermine (Spm) portrayal significance in improving plant tolerance against abiotic stresses. Therefore, we investigate protective efficacy of seed priming with NO (100 μM) and/or Spm (0.01 mM) minimising Cr-induced toxic effects rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants. Our outcomes revealed Cr alone treatments notably reduced germination rate, growth, photosynthetic apparatus, nutrients...
