Plant growth performance under a stressful environment, notably in the agriculture field, is
directly correlated with the rapid growth of the human population, which triggers the …

Iron (Fe) bioavailability to plants is reduced in saline soils; however, the exact mechanisms
underlying this effect are not yet completely understood. Siderophore-expressing …

Abstract Background Iron (Fe) deficiency in crops is a worldwide agricultural problem. Plants
have evolved several strategies to enhance Fe acquisition, but increasing evidence has …

Soil is considered as a vital natural resource equivalent to air and water which supports
growth of the plants and provides habitats to microorganisms. Changes in soil properties …

In agricultural soils, the root microbiome plays a significant role in promoting plant growth for
enhanced yield and also regulates soil fertility. It is important to understand the root …

New eco-friendly approaches are required to improve plant biomass production. Beneficial
plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria may be exploited as excellent and efficient …

High levels of metals impede plant growth by affecting physiological processes.
Siderophores are microbial Fe-chelators that, however, bind other metals. This study …

Abstract Main Conclusion The responses of plants to different abiotic stresses and
mechanisms involved in their mitigation are discussed. Production of osmoprotectants …

Siderophore-positive bacteria present in the rhizosphere and in bulk soil assist plants by
either inhibiting phytopathogen proliferation or increasing plant growth. The bacterial …

Plants in nature are constantly exposed to a variety of abiotic and biotic stresses which limits
their growth and production. Enhancing crop yield and production to feed exponentially …
