Abstract
Drought has major impacts on Indian agriculture and it is known to reduce seed germination and plant development by influencing variousphysiological and biochemical functions of plants. Imparting drought tolerance through microorganisms is an eco-friendly and cost-effectivemethod. In the present study, seven bacterial strains isolated from drought stressed habitats were screened for their osmotolerance andalleviation of water deficit stress in drought susceptible mustard. Strains NSRSSS-1 followed by MRD-17 and MKS-6 found to grow well in30% PEG 6000 induced osmotic stress compared to other strains. Drastic reduction in growth was observed in 40% PEG 6000 in allstrains. These strains were studied for mustard seed germination promotion under osmotic stress condition. Inoculation with MRD-17, MKS6, MCL-1 and MMS-5 recorded more than 90 % percent germination at 48 h and highest seedling fresh weight was observed in seedlingsinoculated wi...
