To investigate the mechanism of mixed plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) on photosynthetic characteristics ofArtemisia selengensisunder cadmium stress,a pot experiment was conducted usingBacillussp.,T3,Pantoea agglomerans,J2,Pseudomonas fluorescens,Y5,while observed and analyzed the effect of PGPB on photosynthetic gas exchange,photosynthetic pigments,photosynthetic mineral elements,chlorophyll fluorescence parameters ofArtemisia selengensisunder cadmium stress. The results showed that the net photosynthetic rate (Pn),stomatal conductance (...
