Halotolerant Endophytic Bacteria Regulate Growth and Field Performance of Two Durum Wheat Genotypes with Contrasting Salinity Tolerance Potential.

Soil salinity hampers durum wheat plant growth and development at various stages. The detrimental effects of salinity on plant cellular and physiological processes necessitate strategies to alleviate its negative impact and improve overall crop yield. This study investigates the efficacy of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) bacteria inoculation in mitigating salinity stress on two durum wheat genotypes with contrasting degrees of salinity tolerance (Tamaroi, salt-sensitive and Line 5004, salt-tolerant) under greenhouse and field conditions.

Secondary Metabolites Profiling, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Properties of L. Leaves, Seeds, Callus, and Cell Suspension Extracts.

L. is an important endangered medicinal plant that belongs to the family Burseraceae. In this study, callus culture was established successfully using mature leaves as explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 24.

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus paralicheniformis Strain GSFE7, a Halotolerant Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterial Endophyte Isolated from Cultivated Saline Areas of the Dead Sea Region.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus paralicheniformis strain GSFE7, which was isolated from saline fields near the Dead Sea region. The genome was 4,452,800 bp in size and contained 4,382 coding sequences. Several genes were predicted to be involved in auxin production, nitrogen fixation, phosphate mobilization, and putative production of siderophores and antibiotics such as bacitracin, butirosin, and fengycin.

Draft Genome Sequence of Strain GSFE11, a Halotolerant Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterial Endophyte Isolated From the Jordan Valley.

The bacterium strain GSFE11 is a halotolerant endophyte isolated from sterilized roots of Durum wheat ( ssp. ) growing in hot and arid environments of Ghor Safi area in the Jordan Valley. The draft genome sequence and annotation of this plant growth-promoting endophytic bacterium are reported in this study.

Isolation and Characterization of Halotolerant Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria From Durum Wheat ( subsp. ) Cultivated in Saline Areas of the Dead Sea Region.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial microorganisms that can be utilized to improve plant responses against biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, 74 halotolerant bacterial isolates were isolated from rhizosphere and endorhizosphere of durum wheat ( subsp. ) plants cultivated in saline environments in the Ghor region near the east of the Dead Sea.
