A Study of the Different Strains of the Genus <i>Azospirillum</i> spp. on Increasing Productivity and Stress Resilience in Plants by Wenli Sun, Mohamad Hesam Shahrajabian, Na Wang

“…Different species of <i>Bacillus</i> spp. can increase the growth, yield, and biomass of plants by increasing the availability of nutrients; enhancing the solubilization and subsequent uptake of nutrients; synthesizing indole-3-acetic acid; fixing nitrogen; solubilizing phosphorus; promoting the production of phytohormones; enhancing the growth, production, and quality of fruits and crops via enhancing the production of carotenoids, flavonoids, phenols, and antioxidants; and increasing the synthesis of indoleacetic acid (IAA), gibberellins, siderophores, carotenoids, nitric oxide, and different cell surface components. The aim of this manuscript is to survey the effects of <i>Azospirillum</i> spp. and <i>Bacillus</i> spp. by presenting case studies and successful paradigms in several horticultural and agricultural plants.…”
