Isolation and Characterization of Plant-Growth-Promoting, Drought-Tolerant Rhizobacteria for Improved Maize Productivity.

Drought is one of the main abiotic factors affecting global agricultural productivity. However, the application of bioinocula containing plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been seen as a potential environmentally friendly technology for increasing plants' resistance to water stress. In this study, rhizobacteria strains were isolated from maize ( L.

Drought Stress Amelioration Attributes of Plant-Associated Microbiome on Agricultural Plants.

The future global food security depends on the availability of water for agriculture. Yet, the ongoing rise in nonagricultural uses for water, such as urban and industrial uses, and growing environmental quality concerns have increased pressure of irrigation water demand and posed danger to food security. Nevertheless, its severity and duration are predicted to rise shortly.

A Potential Draft Sequence Analysis of Enterobacter asburiae Strain B6_18 of an Endophytic Bacterium.

The work presented here describes the genomic analysis of the maize plant-isolated endophytic strain Enterobacter asburiae B6_18 from Northwest Province, South Africa, for potential maize plant growth-promoting traits.

Draft Genome Sequence of Aeromonas caviae Strain A1-2, a Potential Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizospheric Bacterium.

The genomic analysis of the plant growth-promoting rhizospheric Aeromonas caviae strain A1-2, which was isolated from a maize plant in Northwest Province, South Africa, is presented in this paper. Aeromonas caviae strain A1-2 demonstrates its potential to promote plant growth and enhance the tolerance of maize plants to drought stress.
