The endophyte Klebsiella pasteurii BDA134-6 isolated from African rice colonizes durum wheat plants helping them cope with water shortage stress by Maria Laura Amenta, Stefano Varriale, Salvatore Arbucci, Fabio Fania, Pasquale De Vita, Stephan Summerer, Angelo Petrozza, Roberto Defez, Carmen Bianco

“…Results obtained from laboratory growth chamber, greenhouse phenotyping platform, and tunnel-type greenhouse demonstrated that inoculated Primadur plants improved their response to water shortage stress. When water shortage stress was simulated by treatment with polyethylene glycol, neither a significant decrease in the relative water content of leaves nor a strong inhibition of acetylene reduction was observed for inoculated plants compared to the uninoculated ones. …”
