Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of 4-aminophenol by newly isolated Pseudomonas sp. strain ST-4
TL;DR: Biodegradation was found to be more effective than autoxidation of 4-aminophenol, indicating bioremediation as main process to eliminate aromatic amines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetin modulates physio-hormonal attributes and isoflavone contents of Soybean grown under salinity stress.
Muhammad Hamayun,Anwar Hussain,Sumera Afzal Khan,Muhammad Irshad,Abdul Latif Khan,Abdul Latif Khan,Muhammad Waqas,Raheem Shahzad,Amjad Iqbal,Nazif Ullah,Gauhar Rehman,Ho-Youn Kim,In-Jung Lee +12 more
TL;DR: The active role of Kn is supported to ameliorate the adverse effects of salt stress on the growth and food quality of soybean and may be attributed to its potential to modulate cross-talk between the various phytohormones involved in soybean growth and its resistance to salinity stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth promotion of cucumber by pure cultures of gibberellin-producing Phoma sp. GAH7
Muhammad Hamayun,Sumera Afzal Khan,Abdul Latif Khan,Abdul Latif Khan,Dong-Sheng Tang,Dong-Sheng Tang,Javid Hussain,Bashir Ahmad,Yasir Anwar,In-Jung Lee +9 more
TL;DR: The fungal isolate GAH7 was later identified as a new strain of Phoma on the basis of sequence homology (99%) and phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gibberellin production and plant growth enhancement by newly isolated strain of Scolecobasidium tshawytschae.
Muhammad Hamayun,Sumera Afzal Khan,Ho-Youn Kim,M. F. Chaudhary,Young-Hyun Hwang,Dong-Hyun Shin,Inkyeom Kim,Byung-Hyun Lee,In-Jung Lee +8 more
TL;DR: The fungal isolate P-4-3 was identified as a new strain of Scolecobasidium tshawytschae through the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspergillus flavus Promoted the Growth of Soybean and Sunflower Seedlings at Elevated Temperature.
TL;DR: The results suggested the usefulness of A. flavus in host plant growth promotion under heat stress conditions.
