Achromobacter sp. FB-14 mediated morpho-physio-biochemical and molecular improvements in cotton subjected to salt stress
The FH-326 maintained optimum H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and MDA content through POD/CAT activities, balanced ion uptake and gene regulation. The growth of salt-sensitive FH-941 was facilitated by FB-14 inoculation through modulated patterns of ion homeostasis, expression of ion transporter and transcription factors. Further studies involving more cotton genotypes and salt-related molecular markers under bacterial inoculation may assist in devising better strategies to achieve potential yield of cotton.
