A compatibility test between isolates revealed they are compatible can be used a consortium. Both evaluated for biofortification sorghum under...
Soil potassium (K) supplement depends intensively on the application of chemical fertilizers, which have substantial harmful environmental effects. However, some bacteria can act as inoculants by converting unavailable and insoluble K forms into plant-accessible forms. Such are an eco-friendly approach for enhancing plant absorption consequently reducing utilization fertilization. Therefore, present research was undertaken to isolate, screen, characterize solubilizing (KSB) from rhizosphere...

Three strains were selected based salt-tolerance vitro These identified as Bacillus tequilensis (UPMRB9), aryabhattai (UPMRE6), Providencia stuartii (UPMRG1)...
Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), commonly known as linseed is an oilseed crop, emerging important and functional ingredient of food has been paid more attention due to its nutritional value well beneficial effects. It mainly rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3 fatty acid), fibres lignans that have potential health benefits reducing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, cancer, arthritis, neurological autoimmune disorders. Due richness acid, a group enzymes...
Soil salinity exert negative impacts on agricultural production and regarded as a crucial issue in global wetland rice ( Oryza sativa L.). Indigenous salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus sp .) could be used for improving productivity under stress.

Waste water fed pisciculture is nowadays a common feature in aquaculture belts across the globe. East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW) nature's wonder where waste natural beltis active for more than 70 years now and efficiently operating as management system. The peri urban wetland also site of international importance listed Ramsar. Field lab-based investigations were carried out using three commonly edible carp variety fishes such Rohu (Labeorohita), Catla (Catlacatla) Nile Tilapia...
Wheat is an important global staple food crop; however, its productivity severely hampered by changing climate. Erratic rain patterns cause terminal drought stress, which affect reproductive development and crop yield. This study investigates the potential zinc (Zn) silicon (Si) to ameliorate stress in wheat associated mechanisms. Two different levels, i.e., control [80% water holding capacity (WHC) was maintained] (40% WHC maintained from BBCH growth stage 49 83) combined with five...
The WRKY transcription factors (TFs) network is composed of TFs' subset, which performs a critical role in immunity regulation plants. However, functions remain unclear, particularly non-model plants such as pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). This study functionally characterized CaWRKY30-a member group III Pepper protein-for against Ralstonia solanacearum infection.
