Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants, Volume 3

persists till its maturity as evidenced by stimulated plant growth, leaf area,

biomass, and improved the nitrogen fixation, photosynthetic performance

and CO2 fixation which results in better yields under non-stress and abiotic

stressed conditions.
