Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Seaweed Extracts on Rice Growth and Tolerance to Salinity, Drought and Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae)Mir Sayeada Alam, Jannatun Nayeema, S. M. Rafiquzzaman, Motaher HossainRice, a primary staple, confronts a multitude of biotic and abiotic stresses. Drought and salinity, exacerbated by climate change and blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, significantly contribute to yield losses. To tackle the problems, two types of seaweeds-one known as Hypnea musciformis and another unknown-were collected from Saint Martin, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh and then examined for the potential of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 May 2024 · 6,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Bipolaris Leaf Blotch and Improvement of Wheat Growth by Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria BacilliFarzana Zerin Eivy, Md. Tanbir Rubayet, Umakanta Sarkar, Md. Motaher HossainBipolaris leaf blotch, induced by Bipolaris sorokiniana, poses a notable risk to wheat cultivation, resulting in considerable annual declines in yield. Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are acknowledged for their colonization of the wheat rhizosphere and provision of various advantages to plants, including disease control and improved growth. This investigation seeks to explore the feasibility of utilizing PGPR strains as a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2024 · 6,637 accessesView PDFCite
