Effects of Microbial Inoculation on Osmotic Regulation, Ion Homeostasis, Soil Nutrients, and Soil Enzyme Activity in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Under Salt Stress

Microbial inoculation has been unequivocally established as an effective strategy for promoting plant growth and enhancing salinity tolerance. The objective of this work was to examine the influence of AMF (Funneliformis mosseae) inoculation, whether applied singly or together wi...

Bacillus velezensis and Sinorhizobium meliloti Form a Functional Complementary Alliance to Alleviate the Impact of Salt Stress on Alfalfa Growth

Salt stress is a prevalent abiotic stress worldwide, which markedly inhibits crop growth and triggers yield losses. In this study, salt-tolerant plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria of Cerasus humilis—Bacillus pumilus and B. velezensis, which possess nitrogen-fixing, phosphate-so...
