Maize is grown under a wide spectrum of soil and climatic conditions. Maize is moderately
sensitive to salt stress; therefore, soil salinity is a serious threat to its production worldwide …

Both biotic and abiotic stresses are major constrains to agricultural production. Under stress
conditions, plant growth is affected by a number of factors such as hormonal and nutritional …

Plants are affected by salt stress in a variety of ways, including water deficiency, ion toxicity,
nutrient imbalance, and oxidative stress, all of which can cause cellular damage or plant …

Ethylene is a gaseous plant growth hormone produced endogenously by almost all plants. It
is also produced in soil through a variety of biotic and abiotic mechanisms, and plays a key …

Salinity is one of the major anthropogenic as well as environmental stresses that reduce
plant growth. Results show that even after being adapted up to 6% sodium chloride (NaCl) …

Salinity is one of the most important stresses that hamper agricultural productivity in nearly
every part of the world. Enhanced biosynthesis of ethylene in plants under salinity stress is …

Salinity stress has been considered as one of the most severe environmental factors limiting
the agricultural production worldwide. This study was aimed to evaluate the influence of …

Soil microorganisms are supportive in the transformation of soil phosphorus (P) and are thus
an important component of the soil P cycle. These are effective in releasing P both from …

A greenhouse experiment was conducted with four (ACC) deaminase-producing
halotolerant Rhizobium strains, R29 (Sinorhizobium mellilote), R103 (Sinorhizobium …

Bacterial isolates with the ability to tolerate salinity and plant growth-promoting features
were isolated from the saline areas of Gujarat, India, that is, Bhavnagar and Khambat. A total …
