Introduction Phosphorus (P) is the second only to nitrogen among mineral nutrients which required for plant growth and development and involved in important metabolic pathways like nutrient uptake, biological oxidation, and energy metabolism.1-3 In soil, it precipitates as orthophosphate. Tremendous use of inorganic fertilizers which can provide a source of phosphorous to the plant can […]

Soil salinization and phytopathogen infection threaten global crop productivity. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that alleviate abiotic stress while suppressing disease offer a sustainable solution. We aimed to identify a strain with robust salt tolerance, broad-spectrum antagonism, and effective root colonization. A novel halotolerant bacterium isolated from plant rhizosphere at an artifici…

Introduction Plants are exposed to numerous abiotic stresses such as low temperature, drought, salt, heat, floods, oxidative stress and heavy metal toxicity throughout their life cycle. Amongst all this, salinity is the most typical abiotic stress.1 Salt stress is a significant growth restrictive element for most non-halophyte plants. The plant growth is ultimately abridged by […]

Introduction The rhizosphere is an intimate area of soil near the root system of the plant1. The rhizosphere consists of a micro-ecosystem that involves the root system of a plant, microorganisms, nematodes, etc.2. The interaction between microorganisms and plants is special and beneficial to each other. Microbial components consist of bacteria and fungi, having multifarious […]
