INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID SYNTHESIZING CHROMIUM-RESISTANT BACTERIA CAN MITIGATE CHROMIUM TOXICITY IN HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.

Indole-3-acetic acid synthesizing chromium-resistant bacteria can mitigate chromium toxicity in Helianthus annuus L.

Use of microorganisms as heavy metal remediators is an effective approach for chromium reduction in plants.Chromium carcinogenicity (Cr6+) beyond the permissible levels elicits environmental and health problems.To reduce chromium toxicity along with the plant growth improvement, a cost-effective and eco-friendly remediation approach is necessary.In

The high Andes, gene flow and a stable hybrid zone shape the genetic structure of a wide-ranging South American parrot

Abstract Background While the gene flow in some organisms is strongly affected by physical barriers and geographical distance, other highly mobile species are able to overcome such constraints.In southern South America, the Andes (here up to 6,900 m) may constitute a formidable barrier to dispersal.In addition, this region was affected by cycles of
