Multifunctional endospermic bacteria from cultivars of Triticum durum & T. dicoccum influencing plant growth.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Endophytes colonize host crops throughout their life cycle, such as seeds, where they play vital roles. This study investigated the seed endosperm microbiota of two wheat species (Triticum dicoccum and T. durum) using culture-dependent methods, assessing plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits under controlled conditions.The culturable microbial load in endosperms ranged from 86 ± 0.94 to 973 ± 13.52 CFU/g, with wheat seed medium supporting optimal recovery of culturable endophytes under the tested conditions. Forty-four bacterial isolates were obtained, and 16 were selected based on morphology, representing five genera: Bacillus (dominant), Pseudomonas, Pantoea, Saccharibacillus, and Pseudescherichia. These isolates tolerated abiotic stress (40 °C, pH 9.0, 15% salinity, 15% PEG) and exhibit multiple PGP traits. Among them, 13, 2, 12, 3, 10, and 12 isolates showed phosphorus solubilization, potassium solubilization, IAA, siderophore, ammonia, and HCN production, respectively. Enzyme production was also notable; 13 produced amylase and cellulase, and 12 produced xylanase. Eight isolates showed antagonism against Fusarium graminearum, Bipolaris sorokiniana, and Tilletia indica. Notably, Pseudomonas aeruginosa CZ-45 exhibited high acetylene reduction activity (83.6 ± 0.6 nmol ethylene h⁻¹ mg⁻¹ protein), suggesting potential nitrogenase activity, though further molecular validation is warranted as nitrogen fixation is uncommon within this genus, phosphate solubilization (0.99 mg/ml), and broad enzyme activity. Both P. aeruginosa CZ-45 and Pantoea agglomerans CZ-47 inhibited > 60% of all pathogens. Based on performance, six top-performing endophytes were selected as bio-inoculants. Notably, inoculation with Bacillus aryabhattai PZ-55 and Bacillus endophyticus PZ-40 significantly enhanced growth and biomass in both wheat species. These isolates have strong potential as bio-inputs to improve crop productivity.
