A key barrier to crop production is soil salinity, which is a serious and growing problem world-wide due to inadequate water drainage, saline ground water, or inadequate rainfall to wash away soil salts. There is substantial promise for plant-associated microbes isolated from halophytes (salt-tolerant plants) to enhance growth of salt-sensitive crop plants in salty soils. The objective of this study was to identify salt-tolerant bacteria from native halophytes and characterize their ability to stimulate the growth of alfalfa in salty soil conditions. Several halotolerant bacteria, including Kushneria, Halomonas, and Bacillus, were identified from the rhizosphere or roots of three halophyte species (Salicornia rubra, Sarcocornia utahensis, and Allenrolfea occidentalis) in a saline area south of Utah Lake, Utah, USA. Biochemical properties, including indole acetic acid production, biofilm formation, phosphate solubilization and siderophore production activities, which have been associated with plant growth promoting (PGP) activity, were characterized for several isolates. Selected strains were screened for the ability to stimulate growth of alfalfa in controlled laboratory experiments. Among these strains, two independent isolates of the genus Kushneria were found to have significant growth-promoting activity for inoculated alfalfa plants grown under saline conditions (0.205 M or 1.2% NaCl) that mimic common salinity levels of affected soils. Plants inoculated with a combination of two Kushneria strains that have salt-tolerant PGP (ST-PGP) properties exhibited a statistically significant increase in plant growth over uninoculated plants. A GFP marker confirmed presence of Kushneria in the roots of inoculated plants. Bacteria with ST-PGP activity will be a key resource to facilitate increased crop yield from land affected by salinity, and the data presented here for two Kushneria isolates are promising.

The TMT (Thermomechanically Treated) steel bar market in the United States is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for infrastructure development. TMT steel bars, available in various sizes such as 68 mm, 812 mm, and 12 mm, are increasingly being used in heavy industry applications, including torsional bars, low-cost reinforcement bars for residential and commercial construction, and concrete structures for buildings and industrial structures. The mechanical qualities of TMT steel bars, including their superior torsional strength, corrosion resistance, and earthquake resistance, make them a preferred choice for construction projects. These bars are also ductile and fatigue-resistant, ensuring a super-strong structure that can withstand heavy loads.



Heat treatment techniques such as rapid cooling are used to enhance the mechanical properties of TMT steel bars, making them ideal for use in infrastructure applications. The construction sector, particularly in the areas of hydropower plants and industrial structures, is a major consumer of TMT steel bars and other construction materials due to its ability to provide a reliable and durable solution. Water jet technology is used in the production of TMT steel bars, ensuring consistent and precise dimensions, while adhering to industry standards. The growing demand for earthquake-resistant and corrosion-resistant structures is expected to further drive the growth of the market in the United States.

By End-user Insights

The residential segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) steel bars are a preferred choice in the construction sector due to their superior mechanical qualities and corrosion resistance. These bars are widely used in urban areas for the construction of residential buildings and concrete structures. The use of TMT bars offers several advantages, including high tensile strength, excellent ductility, and a superior strength-to-weight ratio. These properties ensure the structural integrity and safety of buildings, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure. TMT bars can deform without breaking during seismic events, making them essential for earthquake resistance. The heat treatment process, which involves rapid cooling, enhances the steel's mechanical properties.

TMT bars are available in various grades to cater to different applications and load requirements. Producers use advanced technologies to ensure consistent quality and meet industry standards. The use of TMT bars is expected to continue growing due to their proven performance and durability.

In 2024, there were 45,000 pubs operating in the United Kingdom. This denoted a slight decrease from the previous year, and continued the downward trend that had been in place since at least 2000. What is the largest pub chain in the UK? In the 2023 financial year, Stonegate ranked as the selected leading pub chain in the UK in terms of units, with over 4,000 properties under its management. Meanwhile, the popular chain JD Wetherspoon had 800 properties. Why are pubs in decline in the UK? Public houses, once considered an important pillar of British communities, have faced several challenges related to changing consumer behavior. The 2007 indoor smoking ban and rising alcohol prices deterred people from drinking in pubs, sparking a trend in ‘pre-loading’ on cheap supermarket-bought alcohol before going out. More recently, the cost of living crisis in the UK has put extra pressure onto consumers' wallets and purses, making eating and drinking out too expensive for many.
