This review focuses on literature pertaining to the interactions of soil yeasts with biotic and
abiotic factors in their environment. Soil yeasts not only affect microbial and plant growth, but …

The native microbial flora and fauna are replaced by commercial chemical fertilizers and
pesticides, in the current agricultural system. Imbalance of beneficial microbial diversity and …

Compared with bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, the potential to use yeasts as plant growth
promoting agents has been under-exploited. We investigated the ability of the soil yeast …

A total of 1035 yeast isolates, obtained from rice and sugar cane leaves, were screened
primarily for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production. Thirteen isolates were selected, due to …

It is known that some microorganisms can enhance plant development. However, the use of
yeasts as growth-promoting agents has been poorly investigated. The aim of this study was …

Background Although a number of recent studies have uncovered remarkable diversity of
microbes associated with plants, understanding and managing dynamics of plant …

Fungi represent a group of soil microorganisms fulfilling important ecological functions.
Although several studies have shown that yeasts represent a significant proportion of fungal …

Crop production encounters challenges due to the dearth of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus
(P), while excessive chemical fertilizer use causes environmental hazards. The use of N …

Organic farming strategy is growing rapidly all over the world to conserve human health and
