Rhizobacteria and Plant Sulfur Supply

2007
Publisher Summary Sulfur is an absolute requirement for growth of all organisms. Its most important role is in the amino acids, cysteine and methionine, in proteins, where cysteine residues, in particular, are important in determining enzyme structure, and the metal-binding properties of sulfur help catalyze a variety of enzyme reactions.

Increased Plant Fitness by Rhizobacteria

2004
About half of the recently fixed carbon in plant leaves is transported below ground where a substantial fraction is released by growing plant roots as exudates and lysates. These nutrients attract bacteria and fungi, which multiply in the rhizosphere to densities up to and exceeding 100 times those in the bulk soil (Lynch and Whipps 1991).

Osmotic stress adaptations in rhizobacteria

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2012
AbstractRhizobacteria have been reported to be beneficial to the plants in many different ways. Increasing salinity in the coastal agricultural zones has been shown to be a threat to the plant and microbial life in the area. Exposure of microorganisms to high‐osmolality environments triggers rapid fluxes of cell water along the osmotic gradient out of ...

Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR)

2021
With a substantial decline in the use of synthetic chemicals, the growing demand for agricultural production is a critical concern in today's world. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been found to be an environmentally sound way of increasing agricultural productivity by promoting plant growth either through a direct or ...

Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) with multiple plant growth promoting traits in stress agriculture: Action mechanisms and future prospects.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2018
Increased incidence of abiotic stresses impacting adversely plant growth and productivity in major crops is being witnessed all over the world. Therefore, as a result of such stress factors, plant growth under the stress conditions will be less than the ...

Drought-tolerant rhizobacteria with predicted functional traits enhanced wheat growth and P uptake under moderate drought and low P-availability.

Microbiology Research
This study aims to investigate the effect of isolated drought-tolerant rhizobacteria, spanning various groups, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB), phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), and other plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), on the ...

Unlocking the potential of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on soil health and the sustainability of agricultural systems.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
The concept of soil health refers to specific soil properties and the ability to support and sustain crop growth and productivity, while maintaining long-term environmental quality.

Use of rhizobacteria for biocontrol

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1993
Abstract Our understanding of the biochemical and genetic basis of the suppression of soil-borne plant pathogens by introduced rhizobacteria has advanced greatly over the last few years. It is known that secondary metabolites, such as the phenazines, 2, 4-diacetylphloroglucinol and hydrogen cyanide, have a critical role in the biocontrol of some ...
