Soil bacteria are very important in biogeochemical cycles and have been used for crop
production for decades. Plant–bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants …

Potassium is a major essential plant nutrient that plays a pivotal role in plant physiological
and metabolic processes, and provides resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. In …

The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil. Structural and functional characteristics of roots contribute to …

The biotic and abiotic stresses are key constraints for food quality, crop yield and global food
security. It is necessary to take action to cope with global threats caused by abiotic and biotic …

Abstract Background Rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica) seeds as plant microbiome present
both an opportunity and a challenge to colonizing bacterial community living in close …

Heavy metal contamination in the environment is a global threat which accelerated after the
industrial revolution. Remediation of these noxious elements has been widely investigated …

Rhizobacteria that exert beneficial effects on plant growth and development are referred to
as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In recent years, the use of PGPR to …

Although the term “endophyte” is most commonly associated with fungi, there is a significant
