Legumes form symbioses with rhizobia to fix N2 in root nodules to supplement their nitrogen
(N) requirements. Many studies have shown how symbioses affect the shoot, but far less is …

In this study, siderophore production by various bacteria amongst the plant-growth-
promoting rhizobacteria was quantified by a rapid and efficient method. In total, 23 …

In the present investigation, four low temperature surviving PGPR strains were isolated from
root nodules of pea (Pisum sativum L.) plant growing widely in different agro-climatic regions …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a functionally diverse group of microbes
having immense potential as biostimulants and biopesticides. We isolated four PGPR …

The majority of the bioactive compounds synthesized by bacteria as secondary metabolites
are low molecular mass products, not essential for the growth of producing organisms, but …

Iron is one of the essential elements for most organisms and for proper plant growth. Present
study revealed that isolates Pantoea dispersa MPJ9 and Pseudomonas putida MPJ6 were …

Heterogeneously distributed microbial communities belonging to different genera enhance
the growth and development of many crop plants including legumes. Among the various …

Vegetables due to high nutritional value comprising of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and
several other essential elements are considered one of the important dietary constituents. In …

Background: The excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides has distorted soil composition,
fertility and integrity with non-desirable environmental and ecological consequences. A …

Diazotrophic nodule isolates are acknowledged promoters of plant growth and rhizospheric
community. Consequently, in the lentil agroecosystem, inoculation of atypical rhizobial …
