White-rot basidiomycetic fungi have gained a lot of scientific attention in recent years owing to their 15 ability to produce cellulase enzymes that are of great importance in numerous industrial applications. 16 This has seen a rise in number of studies seeking to comprehend both physical and molecular 17 mechanisms that regulate the production of...
Abstract. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have received much attention in recent years due to their ability to interact with plants and remediate contaminated soil. This research aimed to assess the potential synergistic effect of three rhizobacterium strains; Enterobacter cloacae RCB980 (A3), Klebsiella pneumonia kpa (A4), and Klebsiella sp...
Beneficial root-associated rhizospheric microbes play a key role in maintaining host plant growth and can potentially allow drought-resilient crop production. The complex interaction of root-associated microbes mainly depends on soil type, plant genotype, and soil moisture. However, drought is the most devastating environmental stress that strongly...
The increasing accumulation of plastics in the environment poses significant threats to marine and terrestrial ecosystems. However, recent research highlights the potential of Lasiodiplodia iranensis, a tropical ascomycete fungus, to degrade synthetic plastics. The intrinsic molecular mechanisms and metabolic responses during the interaction and hy...
Fungi are considered among the most efficient microbial degraders of plastics, as they produce salient enzymes and can survive on recalcitrant compounds with limited nutrients. In recent years, studies have reported numerous species of fungi that can degrade different types of plastics, yet there remain many gaps in our understanding of the process...
Phosphorus (P) is necessary for plant growth and productivity. P deficiency leads to huge yield losses, and continuous depletion of P in industrial agriculture is becoming a major issue of food security. Moreover, most P is not readily available for plants, thus restricting plant growth. Therefore, P uptake efficiency should be enhanced by identify...
Heavy metal (HM) contamination in agricultural soils has become a prime concern for today's society, as it entails environmental risks. Cadmium (Cd) is extremely toxic and carcinogenic, as it shows devastating effects on human health, and crop growth and productivity. Plants are the main source of heavy metal entry into the food chain, which origin...
Plants that grow up in a fluctuating environment are required to cope with several kinds of abiotic and biotic stresses that negatively influence plant growth and development, and severely affect yield and productivity. Thus, identifying beneficial rhizospheric microbial association with plant root is essential to circumvent yield losses. Furthermo...
This study aimed to identify the specific genes associated with plant growth promotion and cadmium tolerance in three bacteria strains associated with Pennisetum giganteum as well as to determine their biosafety levels in their potential use as biofertilizers for promoting plant growth and phytoremediation activities. The plant growth-promoting (PG...
Drought is one of the major constraints to rain-fed agricultural production, especially under climate change conditions. Plants evolved an array of adaptive strategies that perceive stress stimuli and respond to these stress signals through specific mechanisms. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a premier signal for plants to respond to drought and plays a cri...
Water is an essential resource for the survival of living organisms on earth. Pollution of water sources due to organic and inorganic pollutants is one of the major environmental problems in the 21st century. Although there are many conventional approaches to cleanin polluted water, they have limitations due to handling problems, high cost, relativ...
