Inoculation with Pseudomonas spp. Containing ACC-Deaminase Partially Eliminates the Effects of Drought Stress on Growth, Yield, and Ripening of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Amelioration of salt stress in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) by coinculation of ACC deaminase-containing rhizospheric bacteria with Mesorhizobium strains

“…Combination of Mk20 and M6 was found most efficient for improving seedling growth and nodulation. Similar, beneficial effects of inoculation on plant growth by inoculation of PGPR strains containing ACC deaminase enzyme have been reported in other studies by lowering ethylene levels in roots in the presence of otherwise inhibitory levels of salt (Shaharoona et al, 2006;Glick et al, 2007;Arshad et al, 2008).…”

Field application of ACC-deaminase biotechnology for improving chickpea productivity in Bahawalpur

“…It is generally grown on marginal lands (sandy soils) under irrigation conditions and in rainfed areas where water scarcity and increasingly variable and extreme weather conditions are the main problems. The ACC deaminase containing rhizobacterial based biofertilizers have been well documented to help crop plants to withstand extreme environmental conditions (Arshad et al, 2008;Ahmad et al, 2013b;Nadeem et al, 2014). The present study thus explores the effectiveness of multi-strain ACC deaminase Means sharing same letters are statistically show insignificant results at par at 5 % level of probability (n = 3) containing biofertilizer to improve the productivity of chickpea under field conditions in Bahawalpur region where water availability is the major problem.…”

Plant Growth Promoting Potential of Rhizobium Isolates and Soil Health

“…This category of bacteria has been refered as plant growth promoting bacteria, which include the strains of genera like Pseudomonas, Azospirillum, Burkholderia, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Rhizobium, Erwinia, Serratia, Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter, Acinetobacter and Flavobacterium. Rhizobial bacteria have been proved to act as promising plant growth promoters. In the recent years the PGPR have attracted a cosmopolitain significance for their applications as a potential tool for sustaining agriculture production and improving soil health (Arshad et al, 2008). The mechanism by which the PGPR affects the plant growth positively can be of two types i.e., direct and indirect.…”
