Drought tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can confer drought tolerance
in plants, when inoculated, and this effect can be more pronounced by their combined …

Melatonin (MT), a naturally occurring compound, is found in various species worldwide. In
1958, it was first identified in the pineal gland of dairy cows. MT is an “old friend” but a “new …

Drought is the prime abiotic stress that rigorously influences plant growth, yield and quality
of crops. The current investigation illustrated the bio-protective characters of Serratia …

Drought stress has become one of the most uncontrolled and unpredictable constraints on
crop production. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impacts of two different …

The present study evaluates the effects of plant growth hormones (PGR), salicylic acid (SA),
abscisic acid (ABA) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) Rhizobium pisi (DSM …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop around the globe. Scarcity of water is one of
the major abiotic factors reducing yields in this crop. The development of maize varieties …

Soil Microbiologists have been concentrating on manipulation of rhizosphere microbes in
cereals, but many researchers have reported that rhizobia can act as plant growth promoting …

Due to continuous growth of world population, there is dire need of serious efforts and
innovative approaches to meet food demands through sustainable production practices …

Sustainable effect of a nitrogen‐fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti on nodulation and
photosynthetic traits (phenomenological fluxes) in four leguminous plants species under low …

Rhizobacteria, which live around or on plant root surfaces, improve plants directly or
indirectly by their plant growth-promoting abilities. Various studies about plant growth …
