Role of Local Biofertilizer in Enhancing the Oxidative Stress Defence Systems of Date Palm Seedling (Phoenix dactylifera) against Abiotic Stress

Among the abiotic stresses, drought is first environmental stress responsible for a decrease in agricultural production worldwide; it affects plants various ways, including slowing down plant growth and disrupting its general physiology. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are considered to be bioameliorators of plant’s resistance water stress. The present study investigated effects inoculation with arbuscular fungi (AMF) PGPR on status antioxidant enzyme activities date palm seedlings grown under conditions. parameters related were significantly ( p < 0.05 ) higher treated mycorrhizae + bacteria compared their respective controls, especially maximum proline content was obtained inoculated AMF species (combined) severe conditions reaching value 2.588 ± 0.034 25% field capacity, 0.978 0.024 control. In addition, showed notably lower superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), glutathione S-transferase (GST) response nonmycorrhizal seedling. Overall, could promising methods enhance against oxidative
