- Observation Streptomyces microflavus RNCCA42 from C. comosum produced IAA at 156 μg mL −1
- Observation Streptomyces microflavus RNCCA42 from C. comosum produced GA at 8 μg mL −1
- Observation Streptomyces microflavus RNCCA42 from C. comosum produced ACC at 76 μM mg −1 h −1
- Observation Streptomyces microflavus RNCCA42 from C. comosum produced ABA at 127 μg mL −1
- Observation Streptomyces microflavus RNCCA42 from C. comosum produced siderophores at 85%
- Observation Streptomyces microflavus RNCCA42 from C. comosum produced NH3 at 20 μmol mL −1
- Observation Streptomyces microflavus RNCCA42 from C. comosum solubilized PO4 at 495 μg mL −1
- Observation The S. microflavus isolate showed the highest antagonistic activity against five fungal and three bacterial wheat pathogens
- Intervention effect Phytochemical production increased with increasing water deficiency in the PEG drought series of S. microflavus
- Observation Proline concentration showed the highest increase, from 2.4 to 20 μg mg dw −1, across the drought series
- Intervention effect Drought stress increased root length, soluble sugars and proline in grains of wheat compared with normal conditions
- Intervention effect S. microflavus inoculation significantly enhanced all measured variables of wheat compared with stress conditions
- Intervention effect Seeds of the inoculated cultivar Rafha weighed three times more than non-inoculated seeds
- Intervention effect Seeds of the cultivar Najed weighed 1.5 times more than non-inoculated seeds
- Intervention effect Grain chemical quality variables were significantly higher in S. microflavus-inoculated wheat seeds than in non-inoculated seeds
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased the protein content of cultivar Najed by 10%, the largest difference among cultivars
- Intervention effect PCA showed that the Najed cultivar properties increased most of the six wheat cultivars due to S. microflavus inoculation
- Recommendation S. microflavus RNCCA42 can be developed as an effective bioinoculant for sustainable wheat agriculture in dry regions
