A halotolerant strain of Bacillus cereus effectively regulates salt stress-responsive genes in Zea mays L. seedlings under stress condition.
Findings indicate that B. cereus isolate 74 enhances maize salt tolerance through coordinated regulation of antioxidant defense systems and metabolic reprogramming, which provides novel insights into PGPR-mediated stress adaptation.
