Enhancing Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Banana (Musa spp.) Using In Vitro Methods and Conserving Germplasm
Abstract: Both biotic and abiotic stressors are the main factors limiting banana output. Research on biotic stressors in bananas has received enough attention globally, whereas abiotic stressors receive less attention. Water availability, salinity, and a wide variety of temperatures are the main problems that must be resolved to maintain banana farming in the twenty-first century. Samples were introduced with water, salt and heat stresses in invitro condition. Under different stress and …

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens: A Review
Abstract: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is one of the many Bacillus species which is used as a probiotic, exerting health benefits to the host. B. amyloliquefaciens is a gram-positive, rod shaped bacteria with peritrichous flagella. The species also produces enzymes viz. cellulases, amylases, and proteases, which aid in digestion. The species is principally utilized as a feed additive substance for domestic animals and birds. It is gaining importance as plant growth promoter rhizobacteria …

Flavonoid Contents and Antioxidant Activity of an Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Medicinal Plant Humulus lupulus
Abstract: Endophytes are symbiotic microorganisms, most often bacteria or fungi, that reside and multiply within plant tissues without inducing visible signs of disease or negatively affecting the host plant. Endophytic bacteria contribute to plant development by stimulating growth, strengthening defence mechanisms, enhancing tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, and facilitating improved nutrient uptake. Endophytic bacteria serve as an important reservoir of bioactive compounds, notably antioxidant molecules, that play a crucial …

Harnessing Ethylene and Brassinosteroids for Enhanced Agricultural Productivity and Food Quality
Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive review of the roles of ethylene and brassinosteroids, two vital hormonal regulators in plants, focusing on their impact on fruit ripening, stress responses, and overall plant growth. Ethylene, a gaseous plant hormone, is recognized as a key regulator in various physiological processes, particularly in the maturation of fruits. Its involvement in the ripening process has profound implications for agricultural practices, as it directly influences the …
