“…It has been shown that rhizobacteria support plant growth under stressful conditions by improving their mineral nutrition, water relations, resistance to pathogens and antioxidant functions [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. The capacity of rhizoshere bacteria to produce hormones is considered as an important mechanism promoting plant growth and productivity under both favorable and stress conditions [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Plant hormone signaling plays an important role in many physiological and developmental processes, including stress response.…”
