Simple Summary Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are an eco-friendly
alternative to the use of chemicals in agricultural production and crop protection. However …

The demand for nitrogen (N) for crop production increased rapidly from the middle of the
twentieth century and is predicted to at least double by 2050 to satisfy the on-going …

Plant growth often occurs under a range of stressful conditions, including soil acidity and
alkalinity. Hydrogen ion concentration, which determines pH of the soil, regulates the entire …

Plants grow within a complex web of species that interact with each other and with the
plant,,,,,,,,–. These interactions are governed by a wide repertoire of chemical signals, and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continually generated as a consequence of the normal
metabolism in aerobic organisms. Accumulation and release of ROS into cell take place in …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that are essential for plant growth and
development. These hormones control the division, elongation and differentiation of various …

Abstract Microbial Whole-Cell Biosensors (MWCBs) have seen rapid development with the
arrival of 21st century biological and technological capabilities. They consist of microbial …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are natural plant hormones critical for growth and development. BR
deficient or signaling mutants show significantly shortened root phenotypes. However, for a …

Phosphorus (P) is one of the major plant growth-limiting nutrients although it is abundant in
soils in both inorganic and organic forms. Phosphate solubilizing micro-organisms (PSMs) …

Because of their ability to transform atmospheric N2 into ammonia that can be used by the
plant, researchers were originally very optimistic about the potential of associative …
