Molecular characterization of rhizobacterial isolate RM-3, based on sequencing of a partial 1,313-bp fragment of 16S rDNA
amplicon, validated the strain as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The strain showed significant growth inhibition of different phytopathogenic fungi in dual plate and liquid culture assays.
Maximum growth inhibition was found in case of Macrophomina phaseolina in plate assay (68%), whereas it was 93% in Dreschlera graminae in dual liquid assay. Microscopic studies (light and scanning electron) showed morphological abnormalities such as perforation,
fragmentation, swelling, shriveling and lysis of hyphae of pathogenic fungi. The strain also exhibited production of siderophore
and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) on chrome azurol S and King’s B media, respectively. Besides, this strain also produced extracellular
chitinase enzyme and an important antibiotic, phenazine. Seed bacterization with RM-3 showed a significant (P < 0.05) increase in seed germination, shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weight, root length, root fresh and dry weight and
leaf area. It was also able to colonize the rhizosphere of plants and reduced percent disease incidence in M. phaseolina-infested soil by 83%. Yield parameters such as pods, number of seeds and grain yield per plant also enhanced significantly
(P < 0.05) in comparison to control. Thus, the secondary metabolites producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain RM-3 exhibited innate potential of plant growth promotion and biocontrol potential in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

The proposed work describes a protocol for high-frequency in vitro regeneration through nodal segments and shoot tips in Decalepsis arayalpathra, a critically endangered medicinal liana of the Western Ghats. Nodal segments were more responsive than shoot tips in terms of shoot proliferation. Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) basal medium supplemented with 5.0 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA) was optimum for shoot initiation through both the explants. Among different combinations of plant growth regulators and growth additive screened, MS medium added with 5.0 μM BA + 0.5 μM indole-3-acetic acid + 20.0 μM adenine sulphate effectuated the highest response: 11.8 shoots per nodal segment and 5.5 shoots per shoot tip with mean shoot length of 9.2 and 4.8 cm, respectively. Half-strength MS medium with 2.5 μM α-naphthalene acetic acid was optimum for in vitro root induction. The plantlets with the well developed shoot and root were acclimatized in Soilrite? with 92 % survival rate in the field conditions. During acclimatization, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate were gradually changed in dependence of formation of new leaves. Further, the changes in activities of antioxidant enzymes, i.e., superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR) as well as activity of carbonic anhydrase were also observed: a continuous rise in SOD activity, but a rise and fall in the activities of CAT, APX, and GR were also noticed. Maximum fresh mass (3.1 g plant-1), dry mass (0.35 g plant-1) of roots and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde content of 9.22 μg cm-3(root extract) were recorded after 8 weeks of acclimatization. 相似文献

Soil bacteria may have properties of plant growth promotion but not be sufficiently beneficial for plants under stress conditions. This challenge has led researchers to extend their searches into extreme environments for potential soil bacteria with multiple plant beneficial traits as well as abiotic stress tolerance abilities. In the current study, an attempt was made to evaluate soil bacteria from an extreme environment, volcano soils, based on plant growth promoting and abiotic stress mitigating characteristics. The screening led to the isolation of eight (NBRISH4, NBRISH6, NBRISH10, NBRISH11, NBRISH13, NBRISH14, NBRISH16 and NBRISH26) bacterial isolates capable of withstanding stresses, namely temperature (up to 45 °C), salt (up to 2 M NaCl) and drought (up to 60% Poly Ethylene Glycol 6000) in vitro. Further, the selected isolates were notable for their in vitro temporal performance with regards to survival (in terms of colony count), phosphate solubilisation, biofilm formation, auxin, alginate and exo-polysaccharide production abilities under abiotic stresses i.e. 40 °C temperature; 500 mM NaCl salt and drought (PEG) conditions. In vivo seed treatments of individual selected bacteria to maize plants resulted into significant enhancement in root and shoot length, root and shoot fresh and dry weight and number of leaves per plant. Overall, the plant growth promoting and abiotic stress tolerance ability was most evident for bacterial isolate NBRISH6 which was identified as an Ochrobactrum sp. using 16S rRNA based phylogenetic analysis. 相似文献

Two fold increase in the yield of glucose and maltose containing exo-polysaccharide (EPS) by Rhizobium sp. was observed during its growth in modified YEMB. EPS production, plant growth promotion activity and root colonization
of Rhizobium sp. studies showed enhanced EPS synthesis, more seed germination and over all improvement in plant growth over control and
R. meliloti treatment. Groundnut seeds bacterized with Rhizobium sp. resulted in 69.75% more root length, 49.51% more shoot height, 13.75% more number of branches and 13.60% more number
of pods over the control and R. meliloti treatment. Bacterization of wheat seeds increased the dry matter yield of roots (1.7-fold), and roots adhering soil (RAS)
(1.5) and shoot mass (1.9-fold). Rhizobium sp. inoculation also increased the population density of EPS-producing bacteria on the rhizoplane. Roots of plants inoculated
with Rhizobium sp. maintained a higher K+/Na+ ratio and K+–Na+ selectivity. 相似文献

This study was conducted using rhizobacteria, which are able to exert beneficial effects upon plant growth in the infertile
soil collected from barren lakeside areas. Four strains of plant growth promoting bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere
of a common wild plant, Erigeron canadensis. Isolated strains LS9, LS11, LS12, and LS15 were identified as Bacillus aryabhattai by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. B. aryabhattai LS9, LS11, LS12, and LS15 could solubilize 577.9, 676.8, 623.6, and 581.3 mg/L of 0.5% insoluble calcium phosphate within
2 days of incubation. Production of indole acetic acid, a typical growth promoting phytohormone auxin, by strain LS15 was
471.3 mg/L in 2 days with the addition of auxin precursor L-tryptophan. All the strains also produced other phytohormones
such as indole butyric acid, gibberellins, and abscisic acid, and strain LS15 showed the highest production rate of gibberellin
(GA3), 119.0 μg/mg protein. Isolated bacteria were used in a microcosm test for growth of wild plant Xanthium italicum, which can be utilized as a pioneer plant in barren lands. Seed germination was facilitated, and the lengths of roots, and
shoots and the dry weights of germinated seedlings after 16 days were higher than those of the uninoculated control plants.
Root lengths of seedlings of X. italicum increased by 121.1% in LS11-treated samples after 16 days. This plant growth-promoting capability of B. aryabhattai strains may be utilized as an environmentally friendly means of revegetating barren lands, especially sensitive areas such
as lakeside lands. 相似文献

Pseudomonas fluorescens BAM-4, Burkholderia cepacia BAM-6 and B. cepacia BAM-12 isolated from the rhizosphere of moong bean (Vigna radiata L.) showed significant growth-inhibitory activity against a range of phytopathogenic fungi. Light and scanning electron microscopic
(SEM) studies showed morphological abnormalities such as fragmentation, swelling, perforation and lysis of hyphae of pathogens
by Pseudomonas and Burkholderia. Two of the strains (BAM-4 and BAM-6) produced siderophore in CAS agar plates, whereas all three strains produced chitinase.
Bacterization of seeds of moong bean with pseudomonads has been reported as a potential method for enhancing plant growth
and yield, and for providing protection against Macrophomina phaseolina. Seed bacterization with these plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) showed a significant increase in seed germination,
shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weight, root length, root fresh and dry weight, leaf area and rhizosphere colonization.
Yield parameters such as pods, number of seeds, and grain yield per plant also enhanced significantly in comparison to control.
The disease suppression and plant growth enhancement along with the positive rhizosphere colonization by these strains indicate
their possible use as PGPR/biocontrol agents against charcoal rot. 相似文献

Effects of illumination spectrum on the morphogenesis of chrysanthemum plantlets (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. ‘Ellen’) grown in vitro were studied using an illumination system consisting of four groups of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the following spectral
regions: blue (450nm), red (640nm), red (660nm), and far-red (735nm). Taking into account all differences in shoot height,
root length, and fresh and dry weight (FW and DW, respectively), observed while changing the total photon flux density (PFD),
the optimal total PFD for growth of chrysanthemum plantlets in vitro was estimated. For 16 h photoperiod and typical fractions of the spectral components (14%, 50%, 28%, and 8%, respectively),
the optimal total PFD was found to be 40 μmol m−2 s−1. Our study shows that the blue component in the illumination spectrum inhibits the plantlet extension and formation of roots
and simultaneously increases the DW to FW ratio and content of photosynthetic pigments. We demonstrate photomorphogenetic
effects in the blue region and its interaction with the fractional PFD of the far-red spectral component. Under constant fractional
PFD of the blue component, the root number, length of roots and stems, and fresh weight of the plantlets have a correlated
nonmonotonous dependence on the fractional PFD of the far-red component. 相似文献

To investigate the biocontrol effectiveness of the antibiotic producing bacterium, Pseudomonas aureofaciens 63–28 against the phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 on Petri plates and in soybean roots, growth response and induction of PR-proteins were estimated after inoculation
with P. aureofaciens 63–28 (P), with R. solani AG-4 (R), or with P. aureofaciens 63–28 + R. solani AG-4 (P + R). P. aureofaciens 63–28 showed strong antifungal activity against R. solani AG-4 pathogens in Petri plates. Treatment with P. aureofaciens 63–28 alone increased the emergence rate, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight and root fresh weight at 7 days after inoculation,
when compared to R. solani AG-4; P + R treatment showed similar effects. Peroxidase (POD) and β-1,3-glucanase activity of P. aureofaciens 63–28 treated roots increased by 41.1 and 49.9%, respectively, compared to control roots. POD was 26% greater in P + R treated
roots than R. solani treated roots. Two POD isozymes (59 and 27 kDa) were strongly induced in P + R treated roots. The apparent molecular weight
of chitinase from treated roots, as determined through SDS-PAGE separation and comparison with standards, was about 29 kDa.
Five β-1,3-glucanase isozymes (80, 70, 50, 46 and 19 kDa) were observed in all treatments. These results suggest that inoculation
of soybean plants with P. aureofaciens 63–28 elevates plant growth inhibition by R. solani AG-4 and activates PR-proteins, potentially through induction of systemic resistance mechanisms. 相似文献

The effects of 17 Paenibacillus strains on root colonization by Glomus intraradices or Glomus mosseae and plant growth parameters (shoot and root weight) of mycorrhizal cucumber plants were examined. The Paenibacillus strains were originally isolated from mycorrhizal (G. intraradices) and non-mycorrhizal cucumber rhizosphere and/or hyphosphere, except for strain EJP73, which originated from a Pinus sylvestris-Lactarius rufus ectomycorrhiza. Root colonization of cucumber plants by G. intraradices or G. mosseae was unaffected by all seven strains of Paenibacillus polymyxa, but was decreased or increased by four strains of Paenibacillus macerans and strain EJP73 of Paenibacillus sp. Overall, shoot dry weight of cucumber grown in symbioses with either G intraradices or G. mosseae was unaffected by inoculation with all of the Paenibacillus strains, except for strain MB02-429 of P. macerans, which increased the shoot dry weight in the cucumber-G. mosseae symbiosis. On the other hand, several Paenibacillus strains caused altered root growth. Three strains of P. polymyxa and four strains of P. macerans increased the root fresh weight of the cucumber–G. intraradices symbiosis, whereas three strains of P. polymyxa and one strain of P. macerans as well as Paenibacillus sp. EJP73, decreased the root fresh weight of the cucumber–G. mosseae symbiosis. In conclusion, our results show that bacteria from several species of Paenibacillus differentially affect cucumber mycorrhizas. 相似文献

Gentiana dinarica Beck, rare and endangered species of Balkan Dinaric alps, was in vitro propagated (micropropagated) from axillary buds of plants collected at Mt. Tara, Serbia. G. dinarica preferred MS to WPM medium, with optimal shoot multiplication on MS medium with 3% sucrose, 1.0 mg l−1 BA and 0.1 mg l−1 NAA. Rooting was not clearly separated from shoot multiplication since BA did not completely inhibit root initiation. Spontaneous
rooting on plant growth regulator-free medium occurred in some 30% of shoot explants. Rooting was stimulated mostly by decreased
mineral salt nutrition and a medium with 0.5 MS salts, 2% sucrose and 0.5–1.0 mg l−1 IBA was considered to be optimal for rooting. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimated and further cultured in peat-based
substrate. 相似文献

Batch experiments were designed to characterize a multiple metal resistant bacterium Burkholderia sp. D54 isolated from metal contaminated soils in the Dabaoshan Mine in South China, and a follow-up experiment was conducted
to investigate the effects of inoculating the isolate on plant growth and metal uptake by Sedum alfredii Hance grown on soils collected from a heavily contaminated paddy field in Daxing County, Guangxi Zhuang Automounous Region,
Southwest China. Our experiments showed that strain D54 produced indole acetic acid (IAA), siderophores, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate
(ACC) deaminase, and solubilizing inorganic phosphate and solubilized insoluble metal bearing minerals. Bacterial inoculation
significantly enhanced S. alfredii biomass production, and increased both shoot and root Cd concentration, but induced little variation in root/shoot Pb concentration
and shoot Zn concentration. Despite this, the total shoot and root uptake of Cd, Pb and Zn in S. alfredii inoculated with D54 increased greatly compared to the non-inoculated controls. It was concluded that inoculation with strain
D54 could help S. alfredii grow better on metal contaminated soils, produce more biomass, and remove more metals from soil, which implies improved efficiency
of phytoextraction from metal contaminated soil. The knowledge gained from the present experiments constitutes an important
advancement in understanding of the interaction between plant growth-promoting bacteria and hyperaccumulators with regard
to plant ability to grow and remove the multiple heavy metals from soils. 相似文献

A potential bacterial strain designated as NII-0928 isolated from Western ghat forest soil with multiple plant growth promoting attributes, and it has been identified and characterized. Plant growth promoting
traits were analyzed by determining the P-solubilization efficiency, Indole acetic acid production, HCN, siderophore production
and growth in nitrogen free medium. It was able to solubilize phosphate (76.6 μg ml−1), and produce indole acetic acid (58.9 μg ml−1) at 28 ± 2°C. Qualitative detection of siderophore production and HCN were also observed. At 5°C it was found to express
all the plant growth promotion attributes except HCN production. The ability to colonize roots is a sine qua non condition
for a rhizobacteria to be considered a true plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). 16S rRNA gene sequencing reveals
the identity of the isolate as Serratia nematodiphila with which it shares highest sequence similarity (99.4%). Seed bacterization with black pepper cuttings in greenhouse trials
using Sand: Soil: FYM with three individual experimental sets with their respective control showed clearly the growth promoting
activity. Hence, Serratia nematodiphila NII-0928 is a promising plant growth promoting isolate showing multiple PGPR attributes that can significantly influence
black pepper cuttings. The result of this study provides a strong basis for further development of this strain as a bioinoculants
to attain the desired plant growth promoting activity in black pepper growing fields. 相似文献

North American oak species, with their characteristic strong episodic seasonal shoot growth, are highly problematic for clonal
micropropagation, resulting in the inability to achieve a stabilized shoot multiplication stage. The potential for initiating
and proliferating shoot cultures derived from Quercus alba, Q. bicolor and Q. rubra explants was investigated, and a micropropagation method for these species was developed. Branch segments from 6 to 7-year-old
trees were forced-flushed and the forced shoots were used as source of explants for culture initiation. A consistent shoot
multiplication stage was achieved, in 13 of the 15 genotypes established in vitro, although marked differences occurred in
explants from different genotypes/species. The control of efficient shoot multiplication involved the culture of decapitated
shoots in a stressful horizontal position on cytokinin-containing medium with a sequence of transfers within a 6-week subculture
cycle, which was beneficial to overcoming the episodic character of shoot growth. During each subculture cycle, the horizontally
placed explants were cultured on media containing 0.2 mg l−1 benzyladenine (BA) for 2 weeks with two successive transfers (2 weeks each) to fresh medium with 0.1 mg l−1 BA, giving a 6-week subculture cycle. The general appearance and vigor of Q. alba and Q. bicolor shoot cultures were improved by the inclusion of both 0.1 mg l−1 BA and 0.5 mg l−1 zeatin in the medium used for the second transfer within the 6-week subculture cycle. Addition of AgNO3 (3 mg l−1) to the shoot proliferation medium of Q. rubra had a significant positive effect on shoot development pattern by reducing deleterious symptoms, including shoot tip necrosis
and early senescence of leaves. The three species showed acceptable in vitro rooting rates by culturing microcuttings in medium
containing 25 mg l−1 indolebutyric acid for 48 h with subsequent transfer to auxin-free medium supplemented with 0.4% activated charcoal. Although
an initial 5-day dark period generally improved the rooting response, it was detrimental to the quality of regenerated plantlets.
However, activated charcoal stimulated not only the rooting frequencies, but it also enhanced plant quality, as evidenced
by root, shoot and leaf growth. 相似文献

Potential of non-symbiotic plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to influence the endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)
content and growth of Vigna radiata (L.) was evaluated. The bacterial strains used belonged to Pseudomonas, Escherichia, Micrococcus and Staphylococcus genera. All strains were able to produce IAA (1.16–8.22 μg ml−1) in the presence of 1,000 μg ml−1 of l-tryptophan as revealed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometric (GC–MS) analysis. However, strains exhibited variable
results for other growth promoting traits such as phosphate solubilization and siderophore or hydrogen cyanide production.
Bacterial IAA production showed significant positive correlation with endogenous IAA content of roots (r = 0.969; P = 0.01) and leaves (r = 0.905; P = 0.01) under axenic conditions. Bacterization of V. radiata seeds significantly enhanced shoot length (up to 48.10%) and shoot fresh biomass (up to 43.80%) under fully axenic conditions.
Bacterial strains applied under wire-house conditions also improved shoot length, number of pods, and grain weight up to 58,
65, and 17.15% respectively, over control. Hence, free living (non-symbiotic) PGPR have the ability to influence endogenous
IAA content and growth of leguminous plants. 相似文献

Sixteen Bacillus strains isolated from rhizosphere, histoplane and phyllosphere of different plant species were identified by 16S rDNA gene
sequencing and evaluated for in vitro auxin production as well as growth stimulation of Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek. Auxin production by Bacillus spp. in L-broth medium supplemented with 1,000 μg ml−1
L-tryptophan ranges from 0.60 to 3.0 μg IAA ml−1 as revealed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometric (GC–MS) analysis. Rhizospheric isolates exhibit relatively more
IAA synthesis than histoplane and phyllosphere isolates. Plant microbe interaction experiments conducted under gnotobiotic
conditions recorded 55.55, 46.46 and 46.20% increase in shoot length with Bacillus megaterium MiR-4, B. pumilus NpR-1 and B. subtilis TpP-1, respectively, over control. Bacillus inoculations also increased shoot fresh weight with B. megaterium MiR-4 (60.94%) and B. pumilus NpR-1 (37.76%). Highly significant positive correlation between auxin production analyzed by GC–MS and shoot length (r = 0.687**, P = 0.01) and shoot fresh weight (r = 0.703**, P = 0.01) was noted under gnotobiotic conditions. Similarly, significant correlation was also found between auxin production
by Bacillus spp. (GC–MS analysis) and different growth parameters such as shoot length (r = 0.495*, P = 0.05), number of pods (r = 0.498*, P = 0.05) and grain weight (r = 0.537*, P = 0.05) at full maturity under natural wire house conditions. Results showed that auxin production potential of plant associated
Bacillus spp. can be effectively exploited to enhance the growth and yield of V. radiata. 相似文献

The indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase gene (ipdC), coding for a key enzyme of the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway of IAA biosynthesis in Azospirillum brasilense SM was functionally disrupted in a site-specific manner. This disruption was brought about by group II intron-based Targetron
gene knock-out system as other conventional methods were unsuccessful in generating an IAA-attenuated mutant. Intron insertion
was targeted to position 568 on the sense strand of ipdC, resulting in the knock-out strain, SMIT568s10 which showed a significant (∼50%) decrease in the levels of indole-3-acetic
acid, indole-3-acetaldehyde and tryptophol compared to the wild type strain SM. In addition, a significant decrease in indole-3-pyruvate
decarboxylase enzyme activity by ∼50% was identified confirming a functional knock-out. Consequently, a reduction in the plant
growth promoting response of strain SMIT568s10 was observed in terms of root length and lateral root proliferation as well
as the total dry weight of the treated plants. Residual indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase enzyme activity, and indole-3-acetic
acid, tryptophol and indole-3-acetaldehyde formed along with the plant growth promoting response by strain SMIT568s10 in comparison
with an untreated set suggest the presence of more than one copy of ipdC in the A. brasilense SM genome. 相似文献

Saline soils constitute a serious production problem for vegetable crops as they are known to suppress plant growth. One of
the possible measures to improve crop health in such conditions is to use salt-tolerant bacterial inoculants which can control
diseases and promote plant growth. In the present work the ability of Pseudomonas
chlororaphis isolate TSAU13 to promote cucumber and tomato plant growth and to improve fruit yield by protecting these plants against
soil-borne pathogens in salinated soil were investigated. The bacterial strain stimulated shoot growth (up to 32%), dry matter
(up to 43%), and the fruit yield of tomato and cucumber (up to 16%) compared to the uninoculated control plants under saline
conditions. The strain was able to survive on the root of 2-month-old plants. 29% of the cucumber and 27% of the tomato plants
which had grown in soil to which no Fusarium
solani spores had been added were diseased, whereas in the presence of the pathogenic fungus 58% of the cucumber and 52% tomato
plants had disease symptoms. P. chlororaphis TSAU13 showed statistically significant disease reduction in comparison to the Fusarium-uninfected and infected control plants. Those results showed that P.
chlororaphis TSAU13 has a great biotechnological potential in improvement of vegetable production in commercial greenhouses under saline
conditions. 相似文献

This paper describes multiple shoot regeneration from leaf and nodal segments of a medicinally important herb Centella asiatica L. on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with a range of growth regulators. The highest number of multiple shoots
was observed on MS augmented with 3.0 mg dm−3 N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.05 mg dm−3 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Leaf explant showed maximum percentage of cultures regenerating shoots (81.6 %), with the
highest shoot number (8.3 shoots per explant) and the shoot length (2.1 cm) whereas, nodal explant showed less number of shoots
with callus formation at the base cut end. Successive shoot cultures were established by repeatedly sub-culturing the original
explant on a fresh medium. Rooting of in vitro raised shoots was best induced on half strength MS supplemented with 0.5 mg dm−3 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) with highest percentage of shoot regenerating roots (76.8 %) with 3–4 roots per shoot. Plantlets
were acclimated in Vermi-compost and eventually established in soil. Contents of chlorophyll, total sugars, reducing sugars and proteins were estimated in
leaf tissue from both in vivo and in vitro raised plants. Chlorophyll content was higher in in vivo plants, whereas other three components were higher in in vitro plants. 相似文献

Invasive species continue to alter the plant communities of the eastern United States. To better understand the mechanisms
and characteristics associated with invasive success, we studied competition between two Acer species. In a greenhouse, we tested (1) the effect of forest soil type (beneath an invasive and native stand) on seedling
growth of the invasive Acer platanoides (Norway maple) and native A. rubrum (red maple), and the (2) effects of full (above- and below-ground) and partial inter-specific competition on species growth.
We found A. rubrum growth was negatively affected by soil from the invaded stand, as it had lower above-ground (32%) and below-ground (26%)
biomass, and number of leaves (20%) than in the native soil. The root:shoot resource allocations of A. platanoides depended on soil type, as it had 14% greater root:shoot mass allocation in the native soil; this ability to change root:shoot
allocation may be contributing to the ecological success of the species. Widely published as having a large ecological amplitude,
A. rubrum may be a useful species for ecological restoration where A. platanoides has been present, but the impacts of A. platanoides on soil functioning and subsequent plant interactions must be addressed before protocols for native reintroductions are improved
and implemented. 相似文献
