Klebsiella variicola improves the antioxidant ability of maize seedlings under saline-alkali stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Saline-alkali soil is mainly distributed in the northern and coastal areas of China. The Songnen Plain, located in the northeast of China, is a region with a relatively high concentration of saline-alkali soil and is also one of the more at-risk areas in the country. Every year, the increasing spread of saline-alkali soil areas has a serious impact on the growth of agricultural crops. The maize crop is sensitive to saline-alkali stress, which seriously affects its growth and development. Our previous study determined that Klebsiella variicola performs a variety of biological functions, as well as improves the rhizosphere microenvironment and promotes the growth and development of maize seedlings in saline-alkali soil environments. The present study further analyze
