11:Plant-Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Medicinal Plants

JAIME A. TEIXEIRA dA SILVA1* AND DILFUZA EGAMBERDIEVA2

ABSTRACT

There is currently much interest in cultivating medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) in order to meet the great demand of biologically active compounds used by food, pharmaceutical industries and health care. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been used as inoculants in practical production, playing an important role as a supplement to improve the growth and yield of several MAPs. PGPR are able to improve plant growth by increasing the rate of seed germination and seedling emergence, minimizing the adverse effects of external stress factors and protecting plants from soil-borne pests and diseases. This chapter covers the scope of studies published to date focusing on the improvement of growth and biologically active compound production of select MAPs by PGPR.

Key words: Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Plant growth, Stress management
