Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation OT-H1 showed nitrogen-related activities and IAA production in culture.
- Intervention effect OT-H1 promoted maize grain germination more than the other isolates.
- Observation OT-H1 was identified as closely linked to Azotoacter salinestris strain OR512393.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen-fixing bacteria with mineral N had pronounced effects compared with controls.
- Association Maize response increased with mineral nitrogen concentration and peaked at 100%.
- Observation Differences among nitrogen-fixing bacteria were insignificant.
- Intervention effect Dual bacterial inoculation with 75% mineral N was a superior treatment for maize vegetative growth and grain yield.
- Intervention effect The superior treatments induced proline and PPO and PO activities in maize leaves.
- Intervention effect The superior treatments increased maize grain protein content.
