Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria improve growth, photosynthetic efficiency and antioxidant response of quinoa plants under hyperosmotic salinity

Key Points

To explore the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on quinoa under hyperosmotic salinity conditions.
Inoculation of quinoa plants with H. diazotrophicus E19
Assessment of growth metrics and photosynthetic efficiency
Evaluation of oxidative stress responses
Enhanced growth of quinoa plants under salinity stress
Increased photosynthetic efficiency measurements
Improved antioxidant response mitigating oxidative stress

Abstract

Soil inoculation with H. diazotrophicus E19T effectively mitigates the negative impacts of hyperosmotic salinity on quinoa, enhancing growth, photosynthetic efficiency and oxidative stress. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for the use of PGPR as a sustainable strategy to improve halophytic crop performance under salinized soils. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
