P. putida and P. fluorescens isolates were cultured in 250 ml Laurea Broth (LB) medium at 30±1 ºC for 36 h in an incubator shaker at 150 rpm. The culture was then poured into 50 ml falcon tubes and centrifuged for 10 min. at 6000 ×g at 4 ºC. The pellet was washed thrice in 15 ml distilled water and centrifuged. Then it was dissolved in distilled water and the optical density (O.D) of the culture was set at position-1 at 600 nm=107–108 colony forming units (CFU) ml-1 for inoculation (Bhuvaneswari…

significant difference in stomatal densities between young and old leaves or no. The stomatal density of young and old leaves has not significantly different densities.

Stomata has an essential rоle in all plаnts. Stomata helps to maintain balance between water and gas exchanges. The word stomatа…

early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day.
