Plant Drought Tolerance Enhancement by Trehalose Production of Desiccation-Tolerant Microorganisms

A collection of desiccation-tolerant xeroprotectant-producing microorganisms was screened for their ability to protect plants against drought, and their role as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria was investigated in two different crops (tomato and pepper). The most commonly described biochemical m...
