Bacterial endophyte Pseudomonas mosselii PR5 improves growth, nutrient accumulation, and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) through various application methods.

Background: Pseudomonas spp. have drawn considerable attention due to their rhizospheric abundance and exceptional plant growth-promoting attributes. However, more research is needed on the optimal application methods of Pseudomonas mosselii for rice growth, nutrient accumulation, and yield improvement.

Rep-PCR Analyses Reveal Genetic Variation of Ralstonia solanacearum Causing Wilt of Solanaceaous Vegetables in Bangladesh.

Ralstonia solanacearum, a soil-borne and seed-borne plant pathogenic bacterium, causes bacterial wilt to several important crop plants causing substantial economic losses. To provide population information on this pathogen for developing effective control strategies, Rep-PCR was used to analyze the genetic variation of 18 representative isolates of R. solanacearum collected in Bangladesh.
