Effects of sp. OBA 2.4.1 on Growth and Tolerance to Cadmium Stress in L.

Cadmium stress is a barrier to crop production, yield, quality, and sustainable agriculture. In the current study, we investigated the characteristics of bacterial strain sp. OBA 2.

Effects of Thy2 on the Growth and Tolerance to Cadmium Stress of Wheat Plants.

Cadmium (Cd) stress is an obstacle for crop production, quality crops, and sustainable agriculture. An important role is played by the application of eco-friendly approaches to improve plant growth and stress tolerance. In the current study, a pre-sowing seed treatment with strains, isolated from the leguminous plants (strain Pvu5), (strain VSy12), (strain Thy2), and (strain TPr4), demonstrated different effects on wheat ( L.

[Concomitant urogenital infections in men].

The article presents possible combinations of urogenital infections of various etiologies and some pathogenetic, clinical and epidemiological features, and issues of epidemiological surveillance for co-infection. The authors describe in detail combinations with each other and with other diseases of such pathogens as Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis.

[Analysis of Symbiotic Genes of Leguminous Plants Nodule Bacteria Grown in the Southern Urals].

Bacterial strains isolated from the nodules, tissues, and root surface of wild legumes growing in the Southern Urals related to the tribes Galegeae, Hedysareae, Genisteae, Trifolieae, and Loteae were examined for the presence in their genomes of symbiotic (sym) genes. It was found that the sym-genes are present in microorganisms isolated only from the nodules of the analyzed plants (sym+ -strains). Phylogenetic analysis of sym+ -strains on the basis of a comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that sym+ -strains belong to five families of nodule bacteria: Mesorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Rhizobium, and Phyllobacterium.
