Food Sustainability Enhancement: Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria as Key Players in the Alleviation of Drought Stress in Plants

Interactive effects of Pseudomonas putida and salicylic acid for mitigating drought tolerance in canola (Brassica napus L.)

“…The soluble sugar content was much higher in drought-stressed plants than in well-watered. These results are in harmony with Chukwuneme et al [ 82 ].…”

Roles of endophytic fungi in medicinal plant abiotic stress response and TCM quality development

“…Secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phytoalexins, phenylpropanoids, and carotenoids have been documented in stressed plants inoculated with microorganisms ( Chukwuneme et al, 2021 , Koza et al, 2022 , Mohammadi et al, 2021 ). These secondary metabolites help plants tolerate abiotic stress by acting as antioxidants that scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) ( Chukwuneme, Ayangbenro, & Babalola, 2021 ).…”

Characterization of a Novel Polysaccharide Derived from Rhizospheric Paecilomyces vaniformisi and Its Mechanism for Enhancing Salinity Resistance in Rice Seedlings

“…The presence of fungal elicitors, both small and large molecules, has been found to aid in combating abiotic stress and enhancing the active component content in plants . The stressed plants inoculated with microorganisms have been found to produce secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phytoalexins, phenylpropanoids, and carotenoids . The secondary metabolites act as antioxidants, scavenging ROS, to help plants tolerate abiotic stress.…”

“…26 The stressed plants inoculated with microorganisms have been found to produce secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phytoalexins, phenylpropanoids, and carotenoids. 27 The secondary metabolites act as antioxidants, scavenging ROS, to help plants tolerate abiotic stress. In addition to this, polysaccharides stand out as a particularly significant macromolecule due to their diverse bioactivities.…”
