Seed priming with endophytic Bacillus subtilis strain-specifically improves growth of Phaseolus vulgaris plants under normal and salinity conditions and exerts anti-stress effect through induced lignin deposition in roots and decreased oxidative and osmotic damages.

Bacillus subtilis is one of the non-pathogenic beneficial bacteria that promote plant growth and stress tolerance. In the present study, we revealed that seed priming with endophytic B. subtilis (strains 10-4, 26D) improved Phaseolus vulgaris L.

The Effect of Endophytic Bacteria and Salicylic Acid on Some Resistance and Quality Traits of Stored L. Tubers Infected with Fusarium Dry Rot.

The effect of endophytic (strains 10-4, 26D) and their compositions withsalicylic acid (SA) on some resistance and quality traits of stored potatoes infected with Fusariumdry rot were studied. The experiments were carried out on hydroponically grown L. tubers that were infected before storage with and coated with 10-4, 26D with and without exogenous SA, and then stored for six months.
