Background All plants in nature harbor a diverse community of rhizosphere bacteria which
can affect the plant growth. Our samples are isolated from the rhizosphere of wild barley
Hordeum spontaneum at the Evolution Canyon ('EC'), Israel. The bacteria which have been

Abstract Water is the key resource limiting world agricultural production. Although an
impressive number of research reports have been published on plant drought tolerance
enhancement via genetic modifications during the last few years, progress has been slower
3
Abstract Mutualistic bacteria can alter plant phenotypes and confer new abilities to plants.
Some plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to improve both plant growth
and tolerance to multiple stresses, including drought, but reports on their effects on plant
4
Background Paenibacillus polymyxa is a bacterium widely used in agriculture, industry, and
environmental remediation because it has multiple functions including nitrogen fixation and
produces various biologically active compounds. Among these compounds are the

Abstract Aims In the semi-arid region of Bahia State, Brazil, sisal (Agave sisalana Perrine ex
Engelm) has been cultivated for fibre production for several decades without the use of
chemical fertilizers. The contribution of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) to this crop and the

Abstract Soil and associated stress conditions not only influence dwelling microbial
populations and soil ecosystems but also affect growth and yield of plants. Major soil stress
includes salinity, drought, and metal contamination. Due to burgeoning populations and

Abstract A collection of desiccation-tolerant xeroprotectant-producing microorganisms was
screened for their ability to protect plants against drought, and their role as plant growth-
promoting rhizobacteria was investigated in two different crops (tomato and pepper). The

Abstract Biotechnology is simply the use of living systems and organisms to develop or
make useful products or services to improve the quality of human life. Hence, agroforestry
and rhizobacteria inoculation are two biotechnologies that use trees/shrubs and bacteria to

Water is the key resource limiting world agricultural production. Although an impressive
number of research reports have been published on plant drought tolerance enhancement
via genetic modifications during the last few years, progress has been slower than expected.

Abstract Drought is one of the major production-limiting factors to agriculture and it has been
predicted to increase in frequency, duration and intensity due to global climate change. The
lack of water induces stomatal closure in plants, therefore decreasing levels of

Abstract Stresses are the potential threat to principal crop like rice, wheat, maize millets'
productivity in all over the world. Events like continuous drought, torrential rains, flooding,
heat waves, soil salinity ‚acidity, metal toxicity and frost damage have been experienced by
