A new PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria) strain was isolated from soybean seeds and the bacterial mechanisms related to plant growth promotion were evaluated and characterized. Isolates were genotypically compared and identified by amplification of partial sequences of 16S DNAr as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain LL2012. Isolates were grown until exponential growth phase to evaluate the atmospheric nitrogen fixation, enzymatic activities, phosphate solubilization, siderophores and phytohormones production. LL2012 strain was able to grow and to produce high levels of auxin, gibberellins and salicylic acid in chemically defined medium. Co-inoculation of soybean plants with LL2012 strain and the natural symbiont (Bradyrhizobium japonicum) altered plant growth parameters and significantly improved nodulation. Our results show that the association of LL2012 with B. japonicum, enhanced the capacity of the latter to colonize plant roots and increase the number of nodules, which make the co-inoculation technique attractive for use in commercial inoculant formulations following proper field evaluation.

Plants and microorganisms coexist within complex ecosystems, significantly influencing agricultural productivity. Depending on the interaction between the plant and microbes, this interaction can either help or harm plant health. Microbes interact with plants by secreting proteins that influence plant cells, producing bioactive compounds like antibiotics or toxins, and releasing molecules such as N-acyl homoserine lactones to coordinate their behaviour.

An endoplasmic reticulum-localized Cu transporter, PhHMA5II1, interacts with copper chaperones and plays an important role in Cu detoxification in petunia. Copper (Cu) is an essential element for plant growth but toxic when present in excess. In this study we present the functional characterization of a petunia (Petunia hybrida) P-type heavy-metal ATPases (HMAs), PhHMA5II1.

Background: Seed banks are a vital resource for preserving plant species diversity globally. However, seedling establishment and survival rates from banked seeds can be poor. Despite a growing appreciation for the role of seed-associated microbiota in supporting seed quality and plant health, our understanding of the effects of conventional seed banking processes on seed microbiomes remains limited.

Background: Flowering is a complex, finely regulated process involving multiple phytohormones and transcription factors. However, flowering regulation in pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) remains largely unexamined. This study addresses this gap by investigating gibberellin-3 (GA3) effects on flower bud (FB) development in pitaya.

Drought is a significant environmental stressor that induces changes in the physiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular traits of plants, ultimately resulting in reduced plant growth and crop productivity. Seaweed extracts are thought to be effective in mitigating the effects of drought stress on plants. In this study, we investigated the impact of crude extract (CE), and polysaccharides (PS) derived from the brown macroalgae Fucus spiralis (Heterokontophyta, Phaeophyceae) applied at 5% (v/v) and 0.
