Biological amelioration of water stress in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) by exopolysaccharides-producing Pseudomonas protegens ML15.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a globally significant oilseed crop with high economic value. However, water deficit significantly limits its growth and productivity.

Biocontrol potential of ML15 against causing gray mold on postharvest tomato ( var. ).

Gray mold, caused by is a major cause of post-harvest rot of fresh fruits and vegetables. The utilization of selected microorganisms as biocontrol agents is a promising alternative to effectively control gray mold on tomatoes. The current study was conducted to explore potential biocontrol mechanisms of the strain to control infections on post-harvest tomatoes.

Biopriming of seed with plant growth-promoting bacteria for improved germination and seedling growth.

Several seed priming methods can be used to improve seed germination, seedling vigor, and to overcome abiotic stress. In addition to these benefits, only the biopriming method provides the additional benefit of biotic stress management, earning it special attention. Seed biopriming is useful in almost all crops around the world and is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides.

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) integrated phytotechnology: A sustainable approach for remediation of marginal lands.

Land that has little to no utility for agriculture or industry is considered marginal land. This kind of terrain is frequently found on the edge of deserts or other arid regions. The amount of land that can be used for agriculture continues to be constrained by increasing desertification, which is being caused by climate change and the deterioration of agriculturally marginal areas.

The Contrivance of Plant Growth Promoting Microbes to Mitigate Climate Change Impact in Agriculture.

Combating the consequences of climate change is extremely important and critical in the context of feeding the world's population. Crop simulation models have been extensively studied recently to investigate the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity and food security. Drought and salinity are major environmental stresses that cause changes in the physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes in plants, resulting in significant crop productivity losses.
