Article Synopsis
- Drought significantly affects agriculture by hindering plant growth and reducing crop yields, prompting the investigation of beneficial bacteria for mustard germination.
- The osmotolerant rhizobacteria Bacillus casamancensis strain MKS-6 and Bacillus sp. strain MRD-17 enhanced germination rates and seedling growth under both normal and osmotic stress conditions.
- These bacteria boosted important plant hormones and enzymes, while also reducing stress-related compounds, suggesting that they can help mustard crops cope with drought stress through potential bio-formulation applications.
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria Shewanella putrefaciens and Cronobacter dublinensis enhance drought tolerance of pearl millet by modulating hormones and stress-responsive genes.

Drought is a major abiotic stress that affects crop productivity. Endophytic bacteria have been found to alleviate the adverse effects of drought on plants. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of two endophytic bacteria Shewanella putrefaciens strain MCL-1 and Cronobacter dublinensis strain MKS-1 on pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.

The plants were exposed to short-term water shortages, during the vegetative and reproductive growth stages. Drought stress in both stages had a negative effect on growth, physiological, and biochemical parameters of mustard.
