“…Cytoplasmic membranes of cells are an important one of the first objects of various unfavourable environmental factors. It has been, generally, accepted that cell membrane maintenance (for their integrity and stability) is one of the major targets for performing higher plant performance (acceptable growth and yields) [20]. Highest RWC and MSI, and lowest leakage of inorganic ions were observed with the integrative CB + GSH treatment compared to the individual treatments including the control (Table 4).…”

“…Using different CB types significantly increased RWC, which may be attributed to accompany raise in hydraulic nature of branch root crosses that facilitate the radial water flow, and/or root morphology changes (i.e., root branching and its dry weight) [44]. Also, CB maintain stability of membrane structure (membrane stability index; MSI) under stress [20].

“…The beneficial impacts of the combined treatment of CB + GSH could be elucidated on the basis of the improvement of soil physical, chemical and biological characters occurred by CB, in addition to that GSH forms an important part of plant response to abiotic stress, including salinity [20]. It has been reported that GSH alleviates and repairs damages generated by reactive species of oxygen (ROS; O2 -• , 1 O2, H2O2, and OH -).…”

“…Cyanobacteria (CB) are considered as a natural biofertilizer that play a fundamental role in soil maintenance and soil fertility buildup. It has been concluded that CB increase plant performances [19,20], and raise soil water holding capacity via CB jelly structure [21], and decrease the level of soil salinity [22]. In addition, Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidant, a tripeptide (α-glutamyle cysteinylglycine) that has been detected in all compartments of plant cell.…”

Salt stress restricts plant performance by disrupting various physio-biochemical processes like photosynthesis. Plants growing in saline substrates show deficiencies in absorption of some essential elements due to the presence of excessive sodium (Na+) in the rhizosphere, which antagonizes beneficial cations and causing toxicity in metabolism. Cyanobacteria (CB; a natural biofertilizer) play a fundamental role in building-up soil fertility, thus increasing plant performance. Glutathione (GSH) is a well-known antioxidant, which contributes to increase salt tolerance in the plant. This work was conducted as a pot experiment (sand culture) in 2017 to study the combined effect of CB, applied as seed inoculation, and GSH, applied as foliar spray, on growth, pods and seed yields, the contents of antioxidants, osmoprotectants, and nutrients, and the antioxidative enzymes activities of soybean (Glycine max L., cv. Giza 111) plants grown under saline conditions. At fourth leaf stage (21 days after sowing; DAS), CB-pretreated seedlings were supplemented with NaCl (150 mM) along with Hoagland′s nutrient solution, and at the same time seedlings were sprayed with 1 mM GSH. Samples were taken at 60 DAS to assess morphological, physio-biochemical and antioxidant defense systems attributes. Results showed that the integrative application of CB and GSH under saline conditions was effective in improving significantly the growth characteristics, yield components, photosynthetic efficiency (pigments contents and chlorophyll fluorescence), membrane stability index, relative water content, contents of soluble sugars, free proline, ascorbic acid, glutathione, α-tocopherol, and protein, and activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and guaiacol peroxidase. The contents of macronutrients (N, P, K+, and Ca2+) were also increased significantly in Glycine max plants compared to the stressed control. In contrast, Na+ content and electrolyte leakage were significantly reduced. Our results recommend using the combined CB (as seed inoculation) and GSH (as foliar spray) application for soybean plantss to grow well under saline conditions.

“…Several researches of recent past have suggested the efficiency of cyanobacteria for remediation of salt-affected soil in laboratory studies and field trials [91][92][93][94][95]. There have been a variety of suggested mechanisms involved in reclaiming the salt-affected soils and promotion of plant growth by cyanobacteria.…”

At present time, chemical fertilizers are more in practice for crop production, which failed to upkeep soil and environment quality and affected the sustainability of the agricultural production system. Conversely, biofertilizers are ecosystem friendly, one of the best modern tools for agriculture, and are used to improve soil fertility and quality. Biofertilizers have now emerged as a highly potent alternative to inorganic fertilizers and offer an ecologically sound and economically attractive route for augmenting nutrient supply and increasing crop production. These include live cells of diverse genera of microorganisms and have the potential to fix atmospheric nitrogen and solubilize and mobilize plant nutrients from insoluble form through microbiological process. It has also the potential to diminish the gap between nutrient supply through fertilizers and nutrient removal by crops. Hence, biofertilizers can be a feasible option to the farmers to increase crop productivity and should find greater acceptance from the extension workers and commercial biofertilizer manufacturers. Applications and Constraints of Plant Beneficial Microorganisms in Agriculture DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.89190 atmospheric nitrogen, which is transformed into organic nitrogenous compound. The nitrogen-fixing bacteria work under two conditions, symbiotically (Rhizobium, Frankia) and as free-living bacteria (nonsymbiotic) such as Azotobacter and Azospirillum. The N 2 -fixing bacteria associated with nonlegumes include species of Achromobacter, The most exploited symbiotic N 2 -fixing bacteria are those belonging to the family Rhizobiaceae. Rhizobium inoculants are of greatest importance because of their ability to fix atmospheric N 2 in association with certain legumes [11]. It is estimated that N 2 fixation by Rhizobium in root nodules of legumes is of the order of 14 million tons on a global scale and is almost 15% of the industrial N fixation. Yield of many legumes can be increased substantially by the use of appropriate Rhizobium cultures. For successful nodulation each legume requires a specific species of Rhizobium to form effective nodules. Many legumes may be modulated by diverse strains of rhizobia, but growth is enhanced only when nodules are produced by effective strains of rhizobia [12]. Rhizobium can be used for legumes crop and trees (e.g., lucerne) and is a crop-specific inoculant, for example, Rhizobium trifolii for berseem, Rhizobium meliloti for lucerne, Rhizobium phaseoli for green gram and black gram, Rhizobium japonicum for soya bean, Rhizobium leguminosarum for pea and lentil, Rhizobium lupini for chickpea, and Rhizobium spp. for cowpea. Rhizobium is however limited by cross-inoculation group, and only certain legumes are benefited by this symbiosis.Similar to the Rhizobium, other filamentous bacteria of genus Frankia belonging to the family Frankiaceae are found in the root nodules of nonlegumes such as trees and shrubs. These bacteria live in symbiosis with actinorhizal plants. These actinorhiza...
