    Brown gold of marginal soil: Plant growth promoting bacteria to overcome plant abiotic stress for agriculture, biofuels and carbon sequestration
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Ramakrishna W.; Rathore P.; Kumari R.; Yadav R.
    Marginal land is defined as land with poor soil characteristics and low crop productivity with no potential for profit. Poor soil quality due to the presence of xenobiotics or climate change is of great concern. Sustainable food production with increasing population is a challenge which becomes more difficult due to poor soil quality. Marginal soil can be made productive with the use of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB). This review outlines how PGPB can be used to improve marginal soil quality and its implications on agriculture, rhizoremediation, abiotic stress (drought, salinity and heavy metals) tolerance, carbon sequestration and production of biofuels. The feasibility of the idea is supported by several studies which showed maximal increase in the growth of plants inoculated with PGPB than to uninoculated plants grown in marginal soil when compared to the growth of plants inoculated with PGPB in healthy soil. The combination of PGPB and plants grown in marginal soil will serve as a green technology leading to the next green revolution, reduction in soil pollution and fossil fuel use, neutralizing abiotic stress and climate change effects.

    Genetic engineering of poplar: Current achievements and future goals
    (Springer Singapore, 2017) Yadav R.; Yadav N.; Goutam U.; Kumar S.; Chaudhury A.
    Global biomass demand for industrial applications is ever increasing especially in biofuels and pulp industries. Poplar is likely to have great biological advantages over the other forest trees which include small genome size, large number of species, rapid juvenile growth, ease of clonal propagation, easy recovery of genetic transformants, and available genome draft. Wide and sustainable farming of rapidly growing trees such as poplars may supplement to attain the requirement of renewable resources. This chapter covers the progress in both basic and applied studies in poplar genetic tailoring. Certain advices are given for future direction of the research in poplar genetic tailoring so as to achieve the needs of environmental cleansing system and the timber industries. Emerging new thoughts for designing wood improvement approaches are discussed.
