According to recent research published in the Journal of Plant Physiology, "Salinity stress is of great importance in and and semi-arid areas of the world due to its impact in reducing crop yield. Under salinity stress, the amount of 1-aminocyctopropane-1-carboxytate (ACC), a precursor for ethylene production in plants, increases."
"Here, we conducted research under the hypothesis that isolated ACC deaminase-producing Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida can alleviate the stressful effects of salinity on canola (Brassica nopus L.) growth. The experiments were conducted in the Soil and Water Research Institute, Tehran, Iran. Seven experimental stages ...
