Isolated Bacillus subtilis strain 330-2 and its antagonistic genes identified by the removing PCR

Abstract Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) may trigger tolerance against biotic/abiotic stresses and growth enhancement in plants. In this study, an endophytic bacterial strain from rapeseed was isolated to assess its role in enhancing plant growth and tolerance to abiotic stresses, as well as...

In summary, these results clearly indicate the effectiveness and mechanisms of B. subtilis strain 330-2 in enhancing plant growth, as well as tolerance to biotic/abiotic stresses, which suggests that the strain has great potential for commercialization as a vital biological control agent.Zahoor AhmadJia WuLulu ChenWubei DongNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 7, Iss 1, Pp 1-13 (2017)
