Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, variations in temperature, and
ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are antagonistic to plant growth and development, resulting in an …

Environmental stress is a major challenge for sustainable food production as it reduces yield
by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) which pose a threat to cell organelles and …

Increased severity of droughts, due to anthropogenic activities and global warming, has
imposed a severe threat on agricultural productivity. This has escalated the need for …

The growth and persistence of rhizobacteria in soils are highly impacted by moisture stress.
In this study, we report the first transcript analysis of four Pseudomonas strains (PS1, PS2 …

Approximately 33% of the arable land around the world is vulnerable to drought, which is a
very serious issue affecting the yield and productivity of cereal crops. Two contrasting rice …

Drought stress is expected to increase in intensity, frequency, and duration in many parts of
the world, with potential negative impacts on plant growth and productivity. The plants have …

Research on plant growth‐promoting bacteria (PGPR) revealed an effective role of bacterial
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in stress alleviation. Out of 15 PGPR strains, infection …

Proline plays a significant role in the plant response to stress conditions. However, its role in
alleviating metal-induced stresses remains elusive. We conducted an experiment to …

Two billion people worldwide take rice (Oryza sativa L.) as a staple food. Phosphorus (P)
and Nitrogen (N) are the major requirements of rice; although these are available in limited …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are important microorganisms that can be used to
improve plant responses against biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, 60 bacterial strains were …
