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

For over a century, the scientific community has had a comprehensive understanding of how
rhizobia can promote the growth of legumes by forming nitrogen fixing nodules. Despite this …

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are an important bacterial resource for
microbial fertilizers, which can promote plant growth and increase crop yields. In this study …

The symbiotic interaction between rhizobia and legumes that leads to nodule formation is a
complex chemical conversation involving plant release of nod-gene inducing signal …

Salinity is one of the devastating abiotic stresses that cause reductions in agricultural
production. The increased salinization affects alfalfa growth, metabolism, and rhizobium …

Abstract Benzophenone-3 (BP-3) has attracted widespread attention due to its large
accumulation in the environment and its potential toxicity effects to human. This study aimed …

Nitrogen fixation is an important biological process in terrestrial ecosystems and for global
crop production. Legume nodulation and N2 fixation have been improved using nodule …

Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a fundamental phytohormone categorized under auxins,
not only influences plant growth and development but also plays a critical role in plant …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most important forages and legume crops in the
Mediterranean region, where extensive soil exploitation and low soil fertility are among the …

Plant growth promotion has been found associated with plants on the surface (epiphytic),
inside (endophytic), or close to the plant roots (rhizospheric). Endophytic bacteria mainly …
