ABSTRACT Sorghum is an economically important crop for human consumption, animal feed and biomass production. However, its productivity affected by abiotic biotic stresses. Drought one of the major global problems due to alarming climate change. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) help crops improve their resilience survival in water‐scarce environments. Therefore, present study aimed investigate potential rhizobacterial isolates sorghum tolerance drought other stress. The bacterial sample from different soil roots genotype was isolated locations Ethiopia using serial dilution techniques. biochemical properties these were evaluated. PGPR traits analysed under temperatures, pH, salinity Furthermore, isolates' performance evaluated four concentrations PEG (6000): (10%, 15%, 25% 32.6%), which induces osmotic stress reducing water availability, thus mimicking effects sorghum. PCR detection genes associated with stress, such as phosphate solubilisation, nitrogen fixation, ACC (1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate) deaminase phytohormone production performed designed primers. In addition, identification molecular characterisation PGPRs 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene‐specific Serial techniques resulted 210 isolates. Biochemical analysis revealed that 68 exhibited while 50 showed ability solubilise phosphate. amplification identified involved several isolates, suggesting they have tolerance. Among examined, nifH gene 16 acdS 10 pgg 21 these, Pseudomonas ms22 isolate a high promote growth greenhouse performance. our findings suggest harnessing could pave way environmentally friendly efficient agricultural practices conditions.

The sericulture industry is an important component of the agricultural industry. Drought stress can cause yellowing, premature ageing, and shrinkage mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves, greatly damaging their quality restricting high-quality development WRKY transcription factors play roles in plant drought response. In this study, we found that MaWRKYIIc7 TFs, had significantly higher expression levels leaves than other tissues was induced to be expressed under stress. protein located nucleus plasma membrane, its transcriptional activity depends mainly on N-terminal sequence. overexpression Arabidopsis resulted better tolerance. An analysis transient seedlings revealed transgenic presented decreased stomatal opening, MDA content, increased ROS clearance ability, ABA biosynthesis-related genes. Y1H Dual-luc results indicate bind W-boxes positively regulate MaNCED1 MaRD29A, synergistically regulating tolerance mulberry. Overall, our research suggests increase by promoting clearance, adjusting activating signalling pathway.
