Agricultural systems are highly affected by climatic factors such as temperature, rain, humidity, wind, and solar radiation, so the climate and its changes are major risk factors for agricultural activities. A small portion of the agricultural areas of Brazil is irrigated, while the vast majority directly depends on the natural variations of the rains. The increase in temperatures due to climate change will lead to increased water consumption by farmers and a reduction in water availability, putting production capacity at risk.

- - The study investigates an endophytic bacterium that promotes plant growth by fixing nitrogen and producing hormones, specifically examining its effects on maize growth and the underlying mechanisms of this interaction.
- - Results showed significant increases in root and shoot biomass of maize seedlings after inoculation, alongside enhanced green content by eight days after treatment.
- - An analysis revealed that inoculation boosts nitrogen uptake and assimilation, driven by enhanced transporter and metabolic pathways, along with increased phytohormone levels, highlighting the bacteria's role in stimulating growth through hormonal regulation and improved nutrient absorption.
