Co-inoculation with tropical strains of Azospirillum and Bacillus is more efficient than single inoculation for improving plant growth and nutrient uptake in maize

Vitoria Palhares Ribeiro et al.

Summary: The usage of Bacillus and Azospirillum as new microbial consortium inoculants could improve plant growth and crop yield. This study showed that co-inoculation with two Azospirillum strains enhanced maize growth in hydroponics and non-sterile soil, resulting in increased root length, surface area, and root diameter. In the greenhouse experiment, maize inoculated with the two Azospirillum strains exhibited higher shoot dry weight, shoot P and K content, root dry weight, root N and K content, and acid and alkaline phosphatase activities. These findings suggest that co-inoculation with selected Azospirillum strains can have synergistic interactions and improve tropical cropping systems sustainability.

Soil water deficit effects on soil inorganic nitrogen in alternate-furrow flood irrigated Australian cotton production systems

Ben C. T. Macdonald et al.

Summary: The study found that soil water deficit had a significant impact on the inorganic nitrogen derived from soil organic matter mineralization, with inorganic nitrogen primarily accumulating in the plant line. Through sampling and measurement, it was observed that the nitrogen accumulation in plants was significantly greater than the inorganic nitrogen in the soil.

Bacillus subtilis Inoculation Improves Nutrient Uptake and Physiological Activity in Sugarcane under Drought Stress

Mariley de Cassia da Fonseca et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Bacillus subtilis inoculation on mitigating the negative effects of drought on sugarcane plants. The results showed that inoculation with B. subtilis improved plant nutrition, chlorophyll concentrations, gas exchange parameters, and reduced stress parameters. These improvements resulted in increased root growth, tillering, stalk weight, and higher sucrose concentration in the stalks.

Water Deficit History Selects Plant Beneficial Soil Bacteria Differently Under Conventional and Organic Farming

Lucie Gebauer et al.

Summary: Water deficit strongly impacts the composition of soil microbial communities and microorganisms with ACC deaminase activity, while successive drought conditions have a moderate influence. Plants grown on conventional farming soils are able to select more adapted microbial taxa, including beneficial Actinobacteria Streptomyces and Proteobacteria, enhancing drought adaptation in cereals.

Nano-fertilizers improved drought tolerance in wheat under deficit irrigation

Kamiar Ahmadian et al.

Summary: Deficit irrigation can lead to a decrease in wheat yield, but nano fertilizers, especially nano-silica, have shown significant improvements in yield, water use efficiency, and antioxidant enzyme activity under both full and deficit irrigation conditions. Nano-zinc also positively impacted the protein percentage of wheat grain, demonstrating potential for improving crop quality.

Drought Stress Impacts on Plants and Different Approaches to Alleviate Its Adverse Effects

Mahmoud F. Seleiman et al.

Summary: Drought stress is a significant environmental factor affecting plant growth, with plants developing complex resistance and adaptation mechanisms to improve tolerance. Plants adopt strategies such as altering stomatal conductance, enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, and adjusting root to shoot ratio dynamics to cope with water deficit.

Inoculation with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and mycorrhiza confers tolerance to drought stress and improve seed yield and quality of soybean plant

Mohamed S. Sheteiwy et al.

Summary: The co-inoculation of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi showed positive effects on the biomass, yield, and seed nutritive quality of soybean, mitigating the impact of drought stress. This co-inoculation also enhanced the expression of related genes and primary metabolites content.

Rice Physiological Response with Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Inoculation into Soil under Reclaimed Water-Fresh Water Combined Irrigation

Hongfei Lu et al.

Summary: The increasing salinity levels under reclaimed water irrigation have negative effects on plant growth, but the combination of B. subtilis and S. cerevisiae can promote rice physiological indices, with B. subtilis having a greater effect. Soil nitrogen concentration and the amount of B. subtilis applied are major factors influencing leaf physiological indices.

Efficient Regulation of CO2 Assimilation Enables Greater Resilience to High Temperature and Drought in Maize

Pedro M. P. Correia et al.

Summary: This study investigated the responses of maize to high temperature and drought stress, showing that maize genotypes B73 and P0023 adapted to high temperature conditions differently, with P0023 sustaining photosynthetic efficiency by limiting transpiration rate and synchronizing regulation of carbon assimilation metabolism.
