Contribution of potassium solubilizing bacteria in improved potassium assimilation and cytosolic K+/Na+ ratio in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under saline-sodic conditions

Sodium-induced potassium (K+) deficiency is more prevalent in salt-affected soils. Plants experience K+ starvation thus cytosolic K+/Na+ ratio is lowered, which is a prerequisite for their survival. K+ enrichment in crops can be acquired via K-solubilizing bacteria as a sustainable green agriculture...
