The Populus MYB transcription factor PSAR1 negatively regulates salt stress and is a repressor of ABA signaling by Qing Fang, Caiyun Zhang, Jingjie Liu, Zhi Zeng, Yanke Lu

“…A markedly diminished tolerance to salt stress was observed in the engineered Arabidopsis overexpressing PSAR1 (OeLAs) compared with Wt (wild-type) plants. OeLAs seed germination to ABA (1.0 μM) was less sensitive. Whereas by higher ABA (5.0 μM) treatment a delayed blooming was viewed in the OeLAs seedlings. …”

Endophytic Bacteria Ability in Controlling Damping Off and Sclerotium Wilt (Sclerotium rolfsii) in Soybean by Husda Marwan, Sri Mulyati, Weni Wilia

“…The ability of endophytic bacteria to control Sclerotium wilt was carried out on 6 isolates which showed pressure on damping off disease (BE-M1, BE-M2, BE-M3, BE-M4, BE-CW1, BE-KH2) and 2 controls (healthy plants and diseased plants).The results showed that the thirteen isolates of endophytic bacteria could inhibit mycelial growth and germination S. rolfsii. Soybean seed treatment revealed that dipping the seed in endophytic bacterial isolates suppressed damping off disease incedence with a range of 37.4 to 49.9% and Sclerotium wilt disease severity of 20.1 to 85 % , as well as reduced the mortality of soybean by 26.3 to 84.4 % . …”
