Unveiling the potential of Loigolactobacillus coryniformis BCH-4 to ameliorate drought stress in Zea mays L.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The lactic acid bacterial (LAB) species have proven multifaceted roles in sustainable agriculture due to their biologically safe nature, making them eco-friendly. However, their plant growth-improving mechanisms in stressed and non-stressed conditions are still under consideration. Thus, the current work has been planned to evaluate the drought tolerance potential and plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits of Loigolactobacillus coryniformis BCH-4 in Zea mays L. This bacterium was tolerant in the presence of 30% PEG. It also exhibited auxin synthesis, ammonia production, and phosphate solubilization potential. Based on these findings, a pot experiment was conducted with selected drought-tolerant maize seeds (Sawari Kashmir) and drought-sensitive seeds (Malka-2016), bioprimed with L. coryniformis under 2 water regimes; 100% field capacity (optimal watering condition) and 50% field capacity (a drought stress condition). Our results manifested an upsurge in maize growth, photosynthetic pigments, and nutrient uptake in bioprimed seeds under stressed conditions. Besides, biopriming considerably improved nitrate reductase levels alongside higher nitric oxide and hydrogen sulphide activity. This treatment also improved drought-induced oxidative stress tolerance in maize plants by promoting osmolytes and antioxidant activities. Further, the GC-MS analysis revealed various drought-tolerant metabolites, known to have plant growth-promoting potential i.e., 1-hexadecene, tetradecane, hexadecanoic acid, 15-methyl-, methyl ester, and hexadecane, produced by L. coryniformis. Remarkably, these metabolites synergistically improve maize growth and tolerate the drought. This study publicized an extensive variety of metabolites, produced by L. coryniformis liable for plant growth promotion and drought tolerance.
