The tolerance of plant growth-promoting endophytes (PGPEs) against various concentrations
of cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) was investigated. Two glutathione-producing bacterial …

Plant secondary metabolites (SMs) play important roles in plant survival and in creating
ecological connections between other species. In addition to providing a variety of valuable …

The whitebacked planthopper (WBPH), has become a devastating pest for rice crops, causes
serious yield losses each year, and urgently needs biological control. Here, we developed …

Background. Salinity is one of the major abiotic constraints that hinder health and quality of
crops. Conversely, halotolerant plant growth-promoting rhizospheric (PGPR) bacteria are …

Plant secondary metabolites, especially flavonoids, are major metabolites widely found in
plants that play several key roles in plant defence and signalling in response to stress …

Recently, the use of endophytic fungi for promoting growth and alleviating abiotic stress has
gained considerable attention. However, the association of compatible endophytic fungi with …

Drought and ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation) are the coexisting environmental factors that
negatively affect plant growth and development via oxidative damage. Flavonoids are …

Background Incidences of heat stress due to the changing global climate can negatively
affect the growth and yield of temperature-sensitive crops such as soybean variety, …

Background Salinity is a major threat to the agriculture industry due to the negative impact
of salinity stress on crop productivity. In the present study, we isolated rhizobacteria and …

Xanthomonas oryzae is a serious pathogen causing bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease in
rice, markedly reducing its yield. In this study, the rice chorismate mutase (OsCM) gene was …
