TL;DR: In this paper, a feasible alternative strategy by application of rhizospheric bacteria coevolved with plant roots in harsh environments over millions of years, and harboring adaptive traits improving plant fitness under biotic and abiotic stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspectives and Challenges of Microbial Application for Crop Improvement
TL;DR: Systems approach using microscale information technology for microbiome metabolic reconstruction has potential to advance the microbial reproducible application under natural conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Titania (TiO2) nanoparticles enhance the performance of growth-promoting rhizobacteria.
TL;DR: It is concluded that TN treatment provides an effectual platform for PGPR rational application via design of root microbial community and thereby may explain the generally observed inconsistent behavior of PGPRs in the field.

TL;DR: It is concluded that gauging stress by elicited volatiles provides an effectual platform for rapid screening of potent bacterial strains and that priming with isolates of rhizospheric bacteria from harsh environments is a promising, novel way to improve plant water use efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sfp-type PPTase inactivation promotes bacterial biofilm formation and ability to enhance wheat drought tolerance.
Salme Timmusk,Seong-Bin Kim,Eviatar Nevo,Islam A. Abd El Daim,Bo Ek,Jonas Bergquist,Lawrence Behers +6 more
TL;DR: The inactivation of an A26 Sfp-type 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase (SFP-type PPTase) resulted in loss of NRPs/PKs production, and in contrast to the former Bacillus spp.
