Insights into the beneficial effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Bacillus thuringiensis, on ecophysiological and biochemical characteristics in maize (Zea mays L.) under boron toxicity
Abstract High boron (B) levels, which are characteristic of arid and semi-arid regions around the world, are a key factor restricting crop growth and productivity in agricultural soils. However, the utilization of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can stand out as a promising strategy for plants to combat the...
