Recent advances in PGPR-mediated resilience toward interactive effects of drought and salt stress in plants.

The present crisis at hand revolves around the need to enhance plant resilience to various environmental stresses, including abiotic and biotic stresses, to ensure sustainable agriculture and mitigate the impact of climate change on crop production. One such promising approach is the utilization of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to mediate plant resilience to these stresses. Plants are constantly exposed to various stress factors, such as drought, salinity, pathogens, and nutrient deficiencies, which can significantly reduce crop yield and quality.

Performance of Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Isolated from Sandy Soil on Growth of Tomato ( L.).

The plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the rhizosphere affect plant growth, health, and productivity, as well as soil-nutrient contents. They are considered a green and eco-friendly technology that will reduce chemical-fertilizer usage, thereby reducing production costs and protecting the environment. Out of 58 bacterial strains isolated in Qassim, Saudi Arabia, four strains were identified by the 16S rRNA as the strain P6-4, strain P12, strain P22-2, and strain P24.

Crop microbiome: their role and advances in molecular and omic techniques for the sustenance of agriculture.

This review is an effort to provide in-depth knowledge of microbe's interaction and its role in crop microbiome using combination of advanced molecular and OMICS technology to translate this information for the sustenance of agriculture. Increasing population, climate change and exhaustive agricultural practices either influenced nutrient inputs of soil or generating biological and physico-chemical deterioration of the soils and affecting the agricultural productivity and agro-ecosystems. Alarming concerns toward food security and crop production claim for renewed attention in microbe-based farming practices.

Exploring the Plant Growth-Promotion of Four Strains from Rhizosphere Soil to Enhance Cucumber Growth and Yield.

The genus is the most abundant and essential microbes in the soil microbial community. are familiar and have great potential to produce a large variety of bioactive compounds. This genus considers an efficient biofertilizer based on its plant growth-promoting activities.

Native Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria for Growth Promotion of Lettuce from Qassim, Saudi Arabia.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a group of bacteria that colonize plant roots and enhance the growth and productivity of plants. However, only those PGPR that is acclimatized to the local soil conditions performs well. The present study aims to pick up effective PGPR isolates from local soil and utilize them as potential bio-inoculants to enhance lettuce plant growth.

Does less surgical trauma result in better outcome in management of iatrogenic tracheobronchial laceration?

Background: Iatrogenic tracheobronchial injury is a rare, but severe complication of endotracheal intubation. Risk factors are emergency intubation, percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy and intubation with double lumen tube. Regarding these procedures, underlying patients often suffer from severe comorbidities.

Radon activity measurements in irrigation water from Qassim Province by RAD7.

The present study deals with investigating radon level in groundwater, which is being used for irrigation in the environs of Qassim province, Saudi Arabia. Ninety nine samples of groundwater were collected from eight cities in Qassim province. Radon concentrations in the collected water samples were measured with RAD7 electronic radon detector connected to RAD- H2O accessory (Durridge Co.

Evaluation of fungal chitosan as a biocontrol and antibacterial agent using fluorescence-labeling.

Chitosan is a precious biological polysaccharide that could be applied in several fields. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled chitosan (FITC-CTS) was synthesized as a macromolecular fluorophore added to fungal chitosan from Aspergillus niger, to investigate the interaction mechanism and antibacterial performance of (FITC-CTS) against Escherichia coli and Micrococcus leteus. Fluorescence imaging was used to demonstrate chitosan effect on the bacterial cells.
