Antioxidant System Activity in Roots and Shoots of Bean Cultivars in Response to Seed Treatment with Auxin as a Potential Model of Interaction with Endophytic Bacteria.

Plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria (PGPEB), producing auxins, are offered for a promising eco-friendly crop production. Precise bacterial strain selection is essential to ensure consistent and effective plant growth and resilience. Creating a model for the optimal dose-dependent interactions between PGPEB and hosts is necessary for understanding the mechanisms of high-precision selection of the inoculant composition to enhance bacterial preparations' efficacy.

Predicting Field Effectiveness of Endophytic Inoculants for Common Bean Using Morphometric and Biochemical Markers.

According to four field experiments, after the inoculation of L. cultivar Ufimskaya with the commercial strain 26D and the promising strain 10-4, it was found that inoculation with 10-4 improved seed productivity (SP) by 31-41% per plant, but only in dry years. In contrast, all 4 years of inoculation with 26D were ineffective or neutral.
