Plant Growth Promoting Microbes in Plant Tissue Culture
Abstract
Plant Growth Promoting Microbes (PGPMs) are key players in major ecological processes like atmospheric nitrogen fixation, water uptake, solubilization, and transport of minerals from the soil to the plant. A broad spectrum of PGPMs has been proposed as biofertilizers, biocontrol agents and biostimulants to enhance plant growth, agricultural sustainability and food security. However, little information exists with regard to the application of PGPMs in plant tissue culture. This review therefore presents an insight into the importance of PGPMs in plant tissue culture from relevant available articles. In addition, exploiting the potential benefits of PGPMs will lead to a significant reduction in the cost production of in vitro plantlets during plant tissue culture.
NAJ supports free online communication and exchange of knowledge as the most effective way of ensuring that the fruits of research and development practice are made widely available. It is therefore committed to open access, which, for authors, enables the widest possible dissemination of their findings and, for readers, increases their ability to discover pertinent information. The Journal adopts and uses the CC: BY license and is open access. This license lets others distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. Authors are able to enter into separate, additional contractual arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of the Journal’s published version of the work (e.g., post it to an institutional repository or publish it in a book), with an acknowledgement of its initial publication in this journal. Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work.
