Whole genome analysis of high salt tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria
Whole genome analysis of high salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is essential for understanding the genetic basis of their resilience in saline conditions and their role in supporting plant health. By sequencing and analyzing the genomes of salt-tolerant PGPR strains, researchers can identify genes linked to salt tolerance, nutrient acquisition, stress resistance, and growth promotion. These bacteria produce metabolites that enhance root growth, nutrient availability, and stress tolerance in host plants, making them valuable for sustainable agriculture in saline soils. Whole genome insights reveal metabolic pathways and potential applications in biofertilizers, helping crops to thrive under challenging environmental conditions.
