Endophytic diazotrophic bacteria mitigate water deprivation effects in pineapple explants during acclimatization

We examined physiological and growth promotion traits in water-deprived pineapple explants inoculated with two endophytic diazotrophic bacteria. The following questions were addressed: (i) Is the root inoculation efficient to increase bacteria population associated to pineapple explants? (ii) Are nutrient concentrations improved in pineapple explants in response to endophytic bacteria inoculation? (iii) Can endophytic bacteria improve pineapple...
