16S rDNA Characterization of PGPR and Biocontrol Bacteria Associated with Pulse Crops in Uttar Pradesh
Pulse crops are essential components of sustainable agriculture and nutritional security in India. Beneficial rhizobacteria, including biocontrol agents and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), play an important role in improving plant growth, nutrient availability, and resistance against phytopathogens. In the present study, bacterial isolates associated with pulse crops cultivated in Uttar Pradesh, India, were isolated and characterized using 16S rDNA sequencing for molecular identification. The isolates were screened based on their potential plant growth promoting and biocontrol properties. Sequence analysis was performed to determine phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic affiliation of the bacterial strains. The generated sequence data contribute to the understanding of microbial diversity associated with pulse crop rhizosphere ecosystems and may support future applications in sustainable crop production and bioinoculant development.
