Salinity is one of the major environmental abiotic stress factors that limit the growth and yield
of crop plants worldwide. It is crucial to understand the importance of several adaptive …

Soil heavy-metal pollution leads to excessive heavy metals in rice and other food crops,
which has caused serious impacts on the ecological environment and on human health. In …

Sodium-induced potassium (K+) deficiency is more prevalent in salt-affected soils. Plants
experience K+ starvation thus cytosolic K+/Na+ ratio is lowered, which is a prerequisite for …

In this study, the effects of three halotolerant rhizobacterial isolates AL, HR, and SB, which
are able to grow at a salinity level of 1600 mM NaCl, with multiple plant growth promoting …

Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic constraints in agricultural ecosystems worldwide.
High salinity levels have negative impacts on plant growth and yield, and affect soil …

Over the past decades, rapid industrialization along with the overutilization of organic
pollutants/pesticides has altered the environmental circumstances. Moreover, various …

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) increase the germination percentage and the
vigor of seeds, thus determining aspects for the efficient production of seedlings and the …

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria
and sowing methods on physicochemical properties, nutrients and heavy metals content of …

Climate change augments the risk to food security by inducing drought stress and a drastic
decline in global rice production. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have been known …

Millets are important cereal crops cultivated in arid and semiarid regions of the world,
particularly Africa and southeast Asia. Climate change has triggered multiple abiotic …
