background: plants infection with microorganisms as well as physical factors such as osmotic stresses especially drought stress induced particular secondary metabolite production. objective: plant root and shoot hyoscyamine (hyo) and scopolamine (sco) variations were investigated under three water deficit stress (wds) levels as 30 (w1), 60 (w2) and 90 % (w3) water depletion of field capacity an...

one of the important mechanisms utilized by the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) is lowering of ethylene levels by the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (acc) deaminase enzyme. the mechanism facilitates plant growth and development in the stress conditions. pgpr containing acc deaminase can promote plant growth under stress and overcome the harmful effects. the study aimed to scr...

In this work, we evaluated the ability of rhizobacteria isolated from a metal-contaminated site to produce plant growth-promoting substances, such as indole-3acetic acid (IAA), ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, siderophores and extracellular enzymes, to solubilize phosphate and for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC)-deaminase activity, while assessing their capacity to enhance Trifolium repens gr...

the plant promoting bacteria as biological fertilizers play an important role in increasing productivity and improving plant growth in stress condition. in order to evaluate the ability of plant promoting bacteria rhizobacteria on germination and growth of corn under salinity conditions, a pot experiment was conducted in factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replication...

Soil is an excellent niche of growth of many microorganisms: protozoa, fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Some microorganisms are able to colonize soil surrounding plant roots, the rhizosphere, making them come under the influence of plant roots (Hiltner 1904; Kennedy 2005). These bacteria are named rhizobacteria. Rhizobacteria are rhizosphere competent bacteria able to multiply and colonize plant r...

Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for the benefits of agriculture is gaining worldwide importance and acceptance and appears to be the trend for the future. PGPR are bioresources which may be viewed as a novel and potential tool for providing substantial benefits to the agriculture. These beneficial, free-living bacteria enhance emergence, colonize roots, stimulate growth and e...
