Description
Salty soil stunts black cumin, a spice and medicine plant, but friendly root bacteria can help plants cope. Dilfuza Jabborova and eight co-authors tested four bacterial strains on salt-stressed black cumin in a 2025 study, measuring shoot and root growth, leaf pigments, and protective chemistry. Several strains clearly helped.
Two strains stood out: one lengthened shoots by about a fifth, the other doubled total root length and raised leaf greenness by up to 85 percent. Treated plants also held more water and ran stronger antioxidant defenses. A pairing of the two best strains helped further. The authors propose these bacteria as a green aid for salty fields.
