Genetic diversity and plant growth-promoting activity of the dominant bacteria from canola plants in Western Iran
Abstract Background Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can be used as a safe and sustainable agricultural measure to increase plant yield. In this study, cultivable rhizospheric, endophytic, and epiphytic bacteria associated with canola were isolated on nutrient agar medium. The SDS-PAGE method...
