Endophytic Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterium Reduces the Toxic Effect of Cadmium on Wheat Plants.

Heavy metal ions, in particular cadmium (Cd), have a negative impact on the growth and productivity of major crops, including wheat. The use of environmentally friendly approaches, in particular, bacteria that have a growth-stimulating and protective effect, can increase the resistance of plants. The effects of the pre-sowing seed treatment with the plant growth-promoting endophyte 10-4 (BS) on cadmium acetate (Cd)-stressed L.

Effect of Seed Priming with Endophytic on Some Physio-Biochemical Parameters of Two Wheat Varieties Exposed to Drought after Selective Herbicide Application.

Wheat plants are frequently exposed to combined herbicide and drought stress (HDS) which induces complex responses negatively, affects productivity, and is becoming more exacerbated with current climate change. In this work, we studied the influence of seed priming with endophytic bacteria (strains 104 and 26D) on growth and tolerance of two wheat ( L.) varieties (E70-drought tolerant; SY-drought susceptible) exposed to soil drought after application of selective herbicide Sekator Turbo in pot experiments under controlled conditions; 17-day-old plants sprayed with herbicide and after 3 days were subjected to soil drought by stopping irrigating the plants for 7 days with subsequent resumption of normal irrigation (recovery).

Role of Endogenous Salicylic Acid as a Hormonal Intermediate in the Bacterial Endophyte -Induced Protection of Wheat Genotypes Contrasting in Drought Susceptibility under Dehydration.

Endophytic is a non-pathogenic beneficial bacterium which promotes plant growth and tolerance to abiotic stresses, including drought. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, the potential role that endogenous salicylic acid (SA) plays in regulating endophytic -mediated drought tolerance in wheat ( L.
