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.

How Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Boost Plant Salt Tolerance by Reprogramming Phytohormones

A new review in Archives of Microbiology highlights how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant salt tolerance by regulating endogenous phytohormones. The study synthesizes recent evidence showing how AMF improve symbiosis, water use efficiency, antioxidant defenses, and photosynthesis under salinity stress—offering key insights for sustainable agriculture on saline-alkali soils.
