Medical images are providing vital information to aid physicians in diagnosing a disease afflicting the organ of a human body. Magnetic resonance imaging is an important imaging modality in capturing the soft tissues of the brain. Segmenting and extracting the brain is essential in studying the structure and pathological condition of brain.

These microbes release phytohormones which aid in alleviating salinity stress and improve nutrient availability. The isolation and identification of such halophilic PGPRs can be useful in developing bio-inoculants for improving the salt tolerance and productivity of non-halophytic plants under saline conditions.

The study aims to identify endophytic bacteria of maize root and leaf apoplastic fluid with bioprotective traits against and plant growth promoting properties. Among 15 bacterial endophytic isolates, two strains-namely, RAF5 and LAF5-were selected and identified as sp.

However, the negative effects of drought on plant growth and development were alleviated by using plant growth-promoting bacteria. With these backgrounds, the study was conducted to identify the drought-tolerant endophytic bacteria and to know their plant growth promotion (PGP) effect on sorghum plants under drought conditions.
