Enhancement of cold tolerance and growth of tomato plants using endophytic bacteria isolated from cold-adapted plants
… as commercial greenhouses and tunnels used for tomato production in Sicily. However, temperature conditions are not constant under commercial greenhouse conditions, and cold stress damage can occur. Microbial communities associated with plants in cold environments can enhance plant growth at low …
