Background and aims Iron is an essential nutrient for plant growth. Although abundant in
soil, iron is poorly available. Therefore, plants have evolved mechanisms for iron …

Iron deficiency in soil has crucially restricted agricultural and forestry production. Volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) produced by beneficial microorganisms have been proven to …

Plants face a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses including attack by microbial
phytopathogens and nutrient deficiencies. Some bacterial volatile organic compounds …

Medicago truncatula represents a model plant species for understanding legume–bacteria
interactions. M. truncatula roots form a specific root–nodule symbiosis with the nitrogen …

Aims This study is aimed to investigate the efficiency of plant growth-promoting (PGP)
strategies of Enterobacter sp. strain EG16 under metal stress and its potential application in …

Soil microbes have recently been utilized to improve cadmium (Cd) tolerance and lower its
accumulation in plants. Nevertheless, whether rhizobacteria can prevent Cd uptake by …

Soil bacteria can assist plant growth and increase uptake of nutrient elements, the question
arises as to whether beneficial soil microbes confer augmented iron (Fe) content of host …

Iron (Fe) is an essential element for plant growth and development. Some plant growth-
promoting rhizobacteria can increase Fe uptake by plants through reduction of Fe (III) to Fe …

Iron deficiency is common among graminaceous crops. Ecologically successful wild grasses
from iron‐limiting habitats are likely to harbour bacteria which secrete efficient high‐affinity …

Diverse signaling pathways regulated by phytohormones are essential for the adaptation of
plants to adverse environments. Root endophytic bacteria can manipulate hormone-related …
