Effect on the Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Increasing Plant Total Alkaloid and Protein Content of Ashwagandha
Authors(3) :-S. Rajasekar, R. Elango, S. R. Paranthaman Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha), also known as Indian Ginseng, is a well-known Indian medicinal plant due to its antioxidative, antistress, antigenotoxic, and immunomodulatory properties. The present study was designed to assess and establish the cytoprotective potential of Ashwagandha Rhizobacteria from different medicinal plants viz., Withania somnifera, Coleus forskohlii and Vinca rosea grown in different parts of Tamil Nadu were isolated and characterized. Combined inoculation of all the four rhizobacteria viz., Azospirillum lipoferum-AAz-1, Azotobacter-AAt-13, Bacillus-APb-19 and Pseudomonas fluorescens-APf-5 enhanced the chlorophyll content, protein and total alkaloid content, especially Withaferin-A.
