Marine-Derived Actinobacteria Boost Tomato Salt Tolerance Through ACC Deaminase and Phytohormone Modulation

A new study reveals that rhizosphere-competent actinobacteria isolated from mangrove soils significantly improve tomato growth under 200 mM salinity by regulating ACC, phytohormones, and antioxidant metabolism. Discover how Streptomyces isolates #36 and #53 offer a sustainable strategy for salt-affected agriculture.
