Soil salinity is a restrictive factor for the growth of agricultural crops, furthermore, it can make them susceptible to attack by phytopathogens. Such is the case of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the second most ...

The soil is a reservoir of microbial genetic diversity and therefore is considered a major challenge study. In particular, rhizosphere is the portion of soil surrounding the root and here is where different interactions ...

In the present study the analysis of the genomic sequence of a plant growth promoting bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens UM270 was carried out, which has shown the capacity to produce volatile and diffusible compounds that ...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell-cell communication system with genetically regulated mechanisms dependent on cell density. Canonical QS systems in Gram-negative bacteria possess an autoinducer synthase (LuxI family) ...

In the present study the effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by various rhizobacteria, including Arthrobacter agilis UMCV2, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, L2-64 Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and ...

The aim of this study was to identify the diversity of endophytic bacteria associated with roots of Rubus fruticosus by analysis of 16S ribosomal gene, as well as detecting plant growth-promoting and antagonistic activities ...

Agriculture faces a series of complex challenges, before which, there is a growing demand for biological agents that confer increased capacities or benefits to the crops and soils where they are developed. The use of ...

The rhizosphere exhibit different interactions between plants and microorganisms that are classified as beneficial, neutral and harmful. The beneficial effects are carried out by plant growth promoting rhizobacteria or ...

The geothermal zone of Araró, Michoacán, presents hot springs with thermophilic microbial mats. High temperatures and high concentrations of arsenic represent a challenge for the survival of microorganisms. In this work ...

Plants are exposed to different types of biotic and abiotic stress throughout their lives. Biotic stress, such as that caused by pathogens, is an undesirable effect in crops of economic interest, it can cause from a decrease ...
