The present study was aimed to isolate and characterize plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from the rhizosphere of rainfed area (Karak) in Pakistan. The influence of isolated rhizobacteria, in association with salicylic acid (SA), physiological attributes, drought tolerance potential, and phytoremediation in drought-stressed sunflower exposed was investigated. The isolated bacteria were named P1 and P2 and characterized on the basis of colony morphology and biochemical traits. Both PGPR P1 and P2 were identified on the basis of 16S-rRNA gene sequencing as Planomicrobium chinense strain P1 (Accession No. MF616408) and Bacillus cereus strain P2 (Accession No. MF616406). The fresh cultures (24 h old) of isolates were used to soak the seeds pre-sowing. SA was foliar applied at three-leaf-stage. Likewise, the 30-days-old seedlings (three leaf stage) were exposed to drought stress. Drought stress was imposed to 30-days-old plants (three-leaf stage) by withholding water supply for the next 15 days until the soil water content reached 10%. The PGPR and/or SA treatment resulted in significant accumulation of Cd (84%), Pb (66%), and Ni (65%) in the rhizosphere. PGPR also induced accumulation of Cd and Ni in plant shoot. Combined treatment of PGPR and SA increased the Cu (21%), Co (11%), and Zn (8%) accumulation but decreased (12%) the Fe accumulation as compared to coinoculation of PGPR P1 and P2. Inoculation of plants with PGPR significantly increased shoot length (60%), root length (68%), root fresh (61%), and dry (63%) biomass under water stress. The inoculated plants had increased chlorophyll (67%), carotenoid (70%), leaf protein (64%), sugar (64%), and phenolic (62%) contents while lower leaf proline (62%) content, malondialdehyde (MDA) (64%), and antioxidant enzymes (67%) which suggest their role in drought tolerance. It is concluded that integrative use of PGPR in combination with SA found to be an efficacious strategy to improve the phytoremediation of heavy metals and plant growth under stressed conditions particularly under water-deficient conditions.

“…Third, polyphenols inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis of several human cancer cell lines in vitro (Fang et al, 2002). Fourth, polyphenols enhance Cu, Zn-SOD activity and decrease malondialdehyde (Cui et al, 2000). Plants, vegetables, herbs and spices used in folk and traditional medicine have been accepted currently as one of the main sources of chemo preventive drug discovery and development (Aruoma, 2003).…”

Portulaca oleracea (purslane) belonging to the family "Portulacaceae" was considered to be an antimagic herb used to protect against variety of diseases. Here, we investigated the neuronal activities of P. oleracea in adult rats. Animals were treated with 1.5 ml/kg of aqueous extract of purslane (leaves and stem) for 12 days. Cerebellum, pons and medulla, cerebral cortex, thalamus and hypothalamus, midbrain and spinal cord were isolated to estimate the concentration of calcium, acetyl cholinesterase, dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin in them. Purslane was able to induce a significant decrease in calcium concentration of the brain cortex. Dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin were significantly altered in the studied brain regions after treatment of rats with purslane. Acetyl cholinesterase was increased in all brain regions except in the cerebellum. Our results suggest the potential role of purslane mediated changes in the neuronal tissues.

“…A large body of the literature has documented the beneficial effects of tea polyphenolic compounds on scavenging superoxide and hydroxyl radicals (Fang et al, 1998), and on their role in the prevention and therapy of disease. These polyphenols also enhance Cu, Zn-SOD activity and decrease malondialdehyde concentrations (Cui et al, 2000).…”
