Abstract Most of the cereal crops are widely cultivated to fulfil the humans
food requirements. Under changing climate scenario, the intensity of drought
stress is continuously increasing that is adversely affecting the growth and yield
of cereal crops. Although the cereals can tolerate moderate drought to some
extent, but mostly they are susceptible to severe drought stress. Higher
biosynthesis of ethylene under drought stress has been reported. Many scientists
observed that inoculation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC)
deaminase producing plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an
efficacious tool to overcome this problem. These PGPR secrete ACC deaminase
which cleavage the ACC into the… More >
