Salinity stress is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting crop production in arid and semi-
arid regions. Interest is increasing in the application of PGPRs (plant growth promoting …

Bacterial endophytes live inside plants for at least part of their life cycle. Studies of the
interaction of endophytes with their host plants and their function within their hosts are …

As one of the major non–biological stresses, soil salinity negatively affects agricultural
productivity, microbial communities, and agricultural economics in impacted areas and is a …

The temporary immersion systems (TISs) have been widely used in plant biotechnology.
TISs have different advantages from the point of micropropagation and production of …

The aim of this study was to characterize culturable rhizosphere and endophytic bacterial
isolates isolated from rhizosphere soil and roots of maize plant irrigated with industrial and …

Endophytic bacteria are ubiquitous in most plants and colonise plants without exhibiting
pathogenicity. Studies on the diversity of bacterial endophytes have been mainly …

A wide range of microorganisms (filamentous fungi, yeasts, bacteria, viruses and viroids)
and micro-arthropods (mites and thrips) have been identified as contaminants in plant tissue …

This review compares published surveys of microbial populations in plant tissue and cell
cultures with the microbial saprophytes and pathogens found on field grown plants and …

Contamination in tissue culture can originate from two sources, either through carry over of
microorganisms on the surface or in the tissues of explants, or through faulty procedures in …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient in plant development and growth, and its deficiency
is one of the major factors limiting crop yields worldwide. Although soils generally possess a …
