Beneficial Changes in Capsicum frutescens Due to Priming by Plant Probiotic Burkholderia spp.

Plant probiotic mechanisms of endophytic microorganisms are highly remarkable as it play key role in growth and health of plants. Even though Burkholderia spp. have been studied for their role in plant growth and disease management, report on their field performance is very limited.

Pseudomonas fluorescens R68 assisted enhancement in growth and fertilizer utilization of Amaranthus tricolor (L.).

Plant probiotic potential of rhizosphere microbiome and its role in phytofertilizer mobilization are largely unexplored. In the current study, the rhizobacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens R68 (PFR68) isolated from Western Ghat was analyzed for its growth enhancement effect on the leafy vegetable Amaranthus tricolor (L.).
