Isolation of <i>Pseudomonas</i> Strains with Potential for Protection of Soybean Plants against Saline Stress

Salinity is a major detrimental factor for plant growth and crop productivity that could be alleviated by the use of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) with a protective role in such stressful conditions. In this study, four native strains of the genus <i>Pseudomonas</i> were isolate...
