Plant growth-promoting bacteria enhance growth and drought resilience in tomato by reprogramming photosynthesis, antioxidant defence, and gene responses

Drought stress is a major constraint on crop productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where water limitation disrupts photosynthesis, antioxidant balance, and core physiological processes. Here, we isolated three plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) from hypersa...
