Alleviation of drought stress effects in sunflower seedlings by the exopolysaccharides producing Pseudomonas putida strain GAP-P45

Screening of Maize Rhizosperic Phosphate Solubilizing Isolates for Plant Growth Promoting Characteristics

“…The isolates were inoculated into agar medium containing 0.1% insoluble zinc compounds viz ZnO, ZnS and ZnCO 3 (Saravanan et al, 2013).Formation of a clear zone around the colonies were considered as positive result for zinc solubilization. The diameters of the clearing zones around the colonies are measured.…”

Desiccation-Tolerant Rhizobacteria from Cholistan Desert, Pakistan, and Their Impact on Zea mays L.

“…The p<0.05 was calculated by ANOVA, and different letters indicate significant differences between means of each treatments calculated by Duncan's multiple range test (P=0.05). producing exopolysaccharide [35]. Exopolysaccharide production has a great interest with respect to desiccation because rhizobacteria undergo adaptations.…”

Influence of Exopolysaccharide-Producing Bacteria and SiO2 Nanoparticles on Proline Content and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities of Tomato Seedlings (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under Salinity Stress

“…Kaci et al [29] noted that insemination of wheat with polysaccharide caused a significant increase in wheat growth, dry shoot, and root weights. Sandhya et al [30] also stated that inoculation with EPS producing isolate significantly increased the length of stem, root, and dry biomass of sunflowers in both stressed and non-stressed water conditions. Shilev et al [31] also observed the increased fresh weight of the plant and improved root development in the sunflower inoculated with Pseudomonas fluorescens under stress conditions.…”
