Endophytic Bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa PM389 Subsists Host’s (Triticum aestivum) Immune Response for Gaining Entry Inside the Host

Jha, Prabhat Nath (JPAM, 2021)

The present study was designed to compare the defense response of the host plant towards endophytic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa PM389 and pathogenic bacteria Erwinia carotovora and to correlate the level of defense ...
Comparative analysis of defence responses Triticum aestivum L in response to the endophytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa PM389 and the non-host microbial pathogens Erwinia carotovora and Fusarium monaliforme

Jha, Prabhat Nath (World Researcher Association, 2022)

In the present study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PM389 has been studied for comparing the defense responses in wheat plant against non-host pathogens Fusarium monaliforme and Erwinia caratovora. The comparative studies of ...
Transposon mutagenesis of ACC deamination gene alters the proteomic analysis of wheat plant under non-saline and saline stress

Jha, Prabhat Nath (Springer, 2022-01)

The development of high-throughput techniques with evolving bioinformatics tools has elucidated the adaptation mechanism of plant to certain environmental stress like salinity. The characterization of proteins is critical ...
ACC deaminase producing rhizobacterium Enterobacter cloacae ZNP-4 enhance abiotic stress tolerance in wheat plant

Jha, Prabhat Nath (PLOS Biology, 2022-05)

Plant growth promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) designated as ZNP-4, isolated from the rhizosphere of Ziziphus nummularia, was identified as Enterobacter cloacae following 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The isolated strain ...
Exploring Functional Diversity and Community Structure of Diazotrophic Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Pennisetum glaucum Growing under Field in a Semi-Arid Region

Jha, Prabhat Nath (MDPI, 2022-06)

Diazotrophic endophytic bacteria (DEB) are the key drivers of nitrogen fixation in rainfed soil ecosystems and, hence, can influence the growth and yield of crop plants. Therefore, the present work investigated the structure ...
