Bacillus spp. Mediated Growth Enhancement and Antioxidative Defence Activation in Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.).
Article in Biochemical genetics, 2026. 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
Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) is a valuable medicinal and aromatic herb cultivated globally for its essential oil, prized for its therapeutic and flavouring properties. The productivity and essential oil quality of peppermint is strongly influenced by the intervention of biotic and abiotic elicitors, which eventually induces plant growth dynamics, redox homeostasis, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. This study evaluates the effect of five plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs): Bacillus tequilensis (T1), Bacillus subtilis (T2), Bacterium strain (T3), Bacillus thuringiensis (T4), and Bacillus cereus (T5), to access the modulation efficiency of these plant probionts over morphological, physiological, and biochemical parameters of peppermint variety CIM-Suras. The surface sterilized, uniform sized suckers of a menthol-rich peppermint variety CIM-Suras were inoculated with five aforementioned Bacillus spp., endowed with phosphate solubilization, ammonia production, siderophore production, and Indole Acetic Acid production efficiencies, in triplicate. The results of the study revealed that T2 (Bacillus subtilis) has significantly enhanced the photosynthetic process, contents of chlorophyll (64.71%), accumulation of proline (43.17%), SOD (24.89%), and catalase (56.33%), over the control, followed by T1 (Bacillus tequilensis), and T4 (Bacillus thuringiensis). Treatment with Bacillus subtilis (T2) showing maximum improvement in studied morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters in peppermint suggests the potential of the isolate to abate the oxidative damage of the cells during altering environmental conditions. These findings underscore the efficiency of peppermint-native Bacillus-based PGPRs, especially B. subtilis, for improving crop growth, stress resilience, and essential oil yield in a menthol-rich cultivar. This approach offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers to improve peppermint productivity.
