Halophyte-derived bacterial SynComs improve soybean growth under salinity stress

Halophyte-sourced bacterial communities tested as microbial inoculants for improving soybean performance under salty conditions, with practical implications for crop management.

Key Takeaways
  • We hypothesize that halophyte endophyte-derived SynComs improve stress tolerance in soybean under salinity
  • We isolated culturable endophytic bacteria from halophytic plants
  • Bacillus cereus -B14 and Lysinibacillus sphaericus -B91 increased seedlings’ growth as compared to uninoculated plants
