Ochrobactrum sp. NBRISH6 Inoculation Enhances Zea mays Productivity, Mitigating Soil Alkalinity and Plant Immune Response.

Intensifying sodic land characterized by high alkaline pH is an incipient environmental hazard-limiting agricultural potential. In this study, we investigated the effects of plant growth-promoting bacteria Ochrobactrum sp. strain NBRISH6 on the growth and physiology of maize (Zea mays L.

Stability & durability of self-driven photo-detective parameters based on Sn Sb Se ( = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) ternary alloy single crystals.

In the present investigation Sn Sb Se crystals are grown using the direct vapor transport method. The crystals after growth were analyzed by EDAX and XPS to confirm the elemental composition. The surface morphological properties were studied by scanning electron microscope, confirming a flat surface and layered growth of the Sn Sb Se crystals.

Penumbra quantification from MR SWI-DWI mismatch and its comparison with MR ASL PWI-DWI mismatch in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

In acute-ischemic-stroke patients, penumbra assessment plays a significant role in treatment outcome. MR perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) mismatch ratio can provide penumbra assessment. Recently reported studies have shown the potential of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in the qualitative assessment of penumbra.

Characterization of plant growth-promoting alkalotolerant Alcaligenes and Bacillus strains for mitigating the alkaline stress in Zea mays.

Intensification of sodic soil due to increasing pH is an emerging environmental issue. The present study aimed to isolate and characterise alkaline stress-tolerant and plant growth-promoting bacterial strains from moderately alkaline soil (pH 8-9), strongly alkaline soil (pH 9-10), and very strongly alkaline soil (> 10). Total 68 bacteria were isolated, and screened for multiple plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes.

Drought tolerant Ochrobactrum sp. inoculation performs multiple roles in maintaining the homeostasis in Zea mays L. subjected to deficit water stress.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve plant health under various biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the underlying mechanisms of the protective effects of PGPR in deficit water stress (WS) remain less explored. This study aimed to characterize the role of Ochrobactrum sp.

Electrophoretically Deposited MoSe/WSe Heterojunction from Ultrasonically Exfoliated Nanocrystals for Enhanced Electrochemical Photoresponse.

The solar response ability and low-cost fabrication of the photoanode are important factors for the effective output of the photoelectrochemical system. Modification of the photoanode by which its ability to absorb irradiation can be manipulated has gained tremendous attention. Here, we demonstrated the MoSe, WSe, and MoSe/WSe nanocrystal thin films prepared by the liquid-phase exfoliated and electrophoresis methods.

Exploring the survival tactics and plant growth promising traits of root-associated bacterial strains under Cd and Pb stress: A modelling based approach.

The study represents a microbial method for reducing heavy metal stress in terrestrial environment. Two rhizobacterial strains Pantoea agglomerance (PC1) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (SA) having the ability to tolerate Cd and Pb ions stress, were employed in this study. The growth promotion and survival tactics of the strains under metal stress were explored through kinetic growth model using logistic equation, Luedeking-Piret model and Box Behnken design.

Exploitation of agro-climatic environment for selection of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase producing salt tolerant indigenous plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

A comprehensive survey for 09 agro-climatic zones of Uttar Pradesh, India was conducted to isolate and characterize salt tolerant 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase possessing plant growth promoting (PGP) rhizobacteria for salt stress amelioration in rice. Here, we have isolated 1125 bacteria having the ability to tolerate 1M NaCl and out of those, 560 were screened for utilizing ACC as sole nitrogen source. 560 isolates were subjected for bacteria coated seed germination assay under 100mM salt (NaCl) stress resulting to 77 isolates which were further evaluated for seed germination assay, PGP and abiotic stress tolerance ability in vitro.

Characterisation of Pseudomonas spp. and Ochrobactrum sp. isolated from volcanic soil.

Soil bacteria may have properties of plant growth promotion but not be sufficiently beneficial for plants under stress conditions. This challenge has led researchers to extend their searches into extreme environments for potential soil bacteria with multiple plant beneficial traits as well as abiotic stress tolerance abilities. In the current study, an attempt was made to evaluate soil bacteria from an extreme environment, volcano soils, based on plant growth promoting and abiotic stress mitigating characteristics.
