Plant-Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Enhanced Phytoremediation of Saline Soils and Salt Uptake into Plant Biomass

Soil salinity affects an estimated one billion hectares worldwide. Excess salinity inhibits plant growth, limiting crop production. This is caused by osmotic stress in saline soil, nutrient imbalance and specific ion toxicity. There have been many methods of remediation investigated, including excav...
