Desert Actinobacterial Strains Increase Salt Stress Resilience in Crops
The adaptation of crops to saline stress conditions generated by changes in rainfall and the current production systems is essential for maintaining many of them and minimizing possible damage or reductions in their productivity.

| description | The adaptation of crops to saline stress conditions generated by changes in rainfall and the current production systems is essential for maintaining many of them and minimizing possible damage or reductions in their productivity. The use of microorganisms to improve the conditions of plants from extreme environments, increasing their resilience, appears to be a possible alternative. In this work, we isolated strains from samples obtained in extreme environments, such as the Atacama Desert and Sahara Desert, and evaluated their capacity to promote the growth of plants directly and under stress conditions. We studied their ability to grow under salinity, and we selected some of these strains for their capacity to improve plant resilience. |
