Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) association increases plant stress tolerance. This study aimed to determine the mitigation effect of AMF on growth and metabolic changes cucumbers under adverse impact salt stress. Salinity reduced water content synthesis pigments. However, inoculation ameliorated negative effects by enhancing biomass, pigments, activity antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase glutathione reductase, ascorbic acid, which might be...
Plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria can stimulate the growth, nutrient acquisition, symbiotic performance and stress tolerance of chickpea plants under saline soil conditions. The aim this study was to investigate stress-adaptive mechanisms mediated by Bacillus subtilis (BERA 71) Inoculation with BERA 71 enhanced plant biomass synthesis photosynthetic pigments reduced levels reactive oxygen species (ROS) lipid peroxidation in conditions stress. Furthermore, activities ROS-scavenging...
Carotenoids are diverse groups of colorful pigments, which synthesized in plants, algae, bacteria, and some yeast. They play a pivotal role photosynthesis, photoprotection, the production phytohormones (abscisic acid strigolactone) plant cells. Most carotenogenic genes have been identified plants; however, regulatory mechanisms underlying carotenoid biosynthesis accumulation still unclear. The main objective this review is to provide updated knowledge on biosynthesis, regulation, storage,...
This study investigated the plant growth promotion and stress mitigation effects of Penicillium species RDA01, NICS01, DFC01 on sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) plants. The fungal isolates NICS01 significantly enhanced shoot length, root fresh dry seedling weight, due to secretion various concentrations amino acids (Asp, Thr, Ser, Asn, Glu, Gly, Ala, Val, Met, Ile, Leu, Tyr, Phe, Lys, His, Try, Arg). sp. increased amount chlorophylls, proteins, acids, lignans in plants more so than controls....
The hairy root (HR) culture system is an excellent alternative strategy to the whole plant for producing valuable compounds. However, selection of suitable Agrobacterium strain successful induction HR essential step enhanced production beneficial secondary metabolites. In this study, we examined transformation efficiency various A. rhizogenes strains (ATCC 13333, ATCC 15834, A4, R1000, R1200, and R1601) transgenic HRs in Ocimum basilicum. Among tested strains, R1601 was found be one most...
This study was aimed to elucidate the mitigation mechanism of an endophytic bacterium, Bacillus subtilis (BERA 71) against Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid disease in mung bean. M. reduced plant growth by inducing disease, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and lipid peroxidation. The inoculation B. diseased plants increased chlorophyll, ascorbic acids, superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase glutathione reductase activities, while inhibited H2O2 peroxidation for enhancing...
We investigated the effects of inoculation Rhodobacter sphaeroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on cucumber plant growth promotion contents hormones, amino acids, mineral nutrients. showed that treatment with all three bio-inoculants significantly increased shoot length, root fresh weight, dry chlorophyll content, via secretion indole acetic acid and/or organic acids. Inoculation R. sphaeroides had more favorable effect than did L. plantarum or S. cerevisiae, by...
