Genomic and functional characterization of Rhizobium metallidurans NS41, a heavy-metal-resistant, non-legume-associated endophyte that reduces oxidative stress in metal-exposed maize

Adaptive resistance to and intracellular bioaccumulation of potentially toxic metals in a plant growth-promoting Rhizobium tropici-like isolate: implications for phytoremediation

Whole-genome sequencing and characterization of Pseudomonas stutzeri P1 endophyte isolated from potato unveils plant growth-promoting and other traits

The potential of P1 as a promising bioinoculant candidate for sustainable agriculture in the potato sector is demonstrated and the genome lacked major virulence factors and antimicrobial traits, supporting the non-pathogenic nature of the P1 strain.

Unravelling genomic and functional traits of two biocontrol and plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas endophytes

The integration of comparative genomics and experimental validation demonstrates that P. palleroniana R11F and R19M possess complementary traits associated with plant growth promotion, pathogen suppression, saline stress adaptation, and bioremediation.

Integrative functional profiling of rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria reveals Lelliottia aquatilis as a multifunctional PGPR in Himalayan ecosystems

This study introduces L. aquatilis strain MC3 as an emerging candidate for bioinoculant development and one of the first reports for identification of L. aquatilis as multifunctional PGPR from Himalayan ecosystems.

Integrated genomic and metabolomic insights into sesame rhizosphere-derived multi-trait Pseudomonas aeruginosa SIRJ8 with salinity stress alleviation and biocontrol potential

Although SIRJ8 exhibited multiple plant-beneficial traits, its virulence-associated genomic repertoire precludes its consideration as an agricultural bioinoculant at present and underscores the necessity of comprehensive biosafety evaluation before any practical application.

Functional Roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria in Pistachio: Implications for Stress Tolerance, Nutrient Acquisition and Disease Suppression

This review critically examines the current knowledge on the functional roles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in pistachio production and identified the key knowledge gaps and research priorities required to improve the consistency, scalability, and field validation of microbiom...
