Influence of pesticide-tolerant soil bacteria for disease control caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid and plant growth promotion in Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp

Methomyl has clastogenic and aneugenic effects and alters the mitotic kinetics in Pisum sativum L.

“…The significant decrease in mitotic index observed in this study might be the effect of methomyl interfering with the cell cycle by blocking G2 phase of cell cycle or DNA synthesis inhibition, or it could be the outcome of a rise in the frequency of chromosomal anomalies with analogous increase in methomyl concentration. These findings are also consistent with the outcomes of several research teams which have stated the cytotoxic effects of ethephon (Ayşe and Kılıç 2017; Bonciu et al 2022), various synthetic plant growth regulators (Singh et al 2022;Asif et al 2022), and various pesticides (Lukaszewicz et al 2019;Siddiqui and Alrumman 2022 a and b;Omeiri et al 2022;Hafez et al 2022;Bandopadhyay et al 2022).…”

Harnessing bacterial strain from rhizosphere to develop indigenous PGPR consortium for enhancing lobia (Vigna unguiculata) production

“…Also, Souza-Alons et al [ 35 ], reported that alginate-coated cells of P. libanensis inoculated with V. unguiculata observed more viability of bacterial cells in soils and provide sustainability against drought stress and enhance plant productivity and plant growth. Dizotrophic bacterial seed inoculation and AM inoculum with Vigna unguiculata (L.) enhanced plant tolerance, productivity and grain nutrient content (Nitrogen and Phosphorus), plant growth and development [ 14 , 36 ]. PGPR may promote plant growth and development through phytohormones production, nutrient solubilization, and improving defense systems of host plants by lowering ethylene levels in plants [ 2 , 5 , 6 , 10 , [36] , [37] , [38] ].…”

Wang et al [ 51 ] observed that impact of PGPR strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SQR9 with and without inoculation with foliar application of amino acid liquid fertilizer enhanced cowpea yields and leaf microbiome as compared to control (chemical fertilizer), this experiment supports our research finding.…”
