Bacillus cereus: An Ally Against Drought in Popcorn Cultivation

Microorganisms
Despite the development of adapted popcorn cultivars such as UENF WS01, strategies such as bacterial inoculation are being explored to enhance plant resilience to abiotic stress. This study investigates the impact of drought stress on popcorn cultivation.

Cr-resistant rhizo- and endophytic bacteria associated with Prosopis juliflora and their potential as phytoremediation enhancing agents in metal-degraded soils

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Prosopis juliflora is characterized by distinct and profuse growth even in nutritionally poor soil and environmentally stressed conditions and is believed to harbor some novel heavy metal-resistant bacteria in the rhizosphere and endosphere.

Unraveling the Chemical Dialogue: The Impact of Volatiles on the Interaction Between PGPR and Verticillium dahliae in Pepper Plants

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have attracted increasing scientific interest due to their potential to enhance crop productivity and alleviate plant stress. An important trait of PGPR is the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can play crucial roles in plant–microbe and interspecies communication.

Roles of rhizobacteria in cereals

The rhizosphere is a dynamic ecosystem consisting of a plethora of microorganisms. The rhizosphere microbiome plays diverse roles in cereal plants. Among them, the bacterial population associated with roots including exophyte microbes and endophytes has a direct impact on plant development and health.

Indigenous Pseudomonas spp. Strains from the Olive (Olea europaea L.) Rhizosphere as Effective Biocontrol Agents against Verticillium dahliae: From the Host Roots to the Bacterial Genomes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The use of biological control agents (BCA), alone or in combination with other management measures, has gained attention over the past decades, driven by the need to seek for sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to confront plant pathogens.

Adjustment of Root System Architecture and Root Function in Response to Multifactorial Abiotic Stress

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT The root of land plants is a remarkably adaptive organ. Unlike the shoot with its main functions in light harvesting and photosynthesis, sexual reproduction and diaspore distribution, the root explores the soil for nutrient resources and water, while preferably avoiding zones of unfavorable conditions. Roots realize an extraordinarily flexible

Rhizobacteria-mediated induced systemic resistance: triggering, signalling and expression [PDF]

, 2001
Selected strains of rhizosphere bacteria reduce disease by activating a resistance mechanism in the plant named rhizobacteria-mediated induced systemic resistance (ISR). Rhizobacteria-mediated ISR resembles pathogeninduced systemic acquired resistance (
