The compatibility of a select group of plant growth promoting rhizobacterial strains with chemicals commonly used as seed treatments was investigated. Strains in several genera (Serratia, Pseudomonas, and coryneform-like bacteria) were found to be tolerant to Vitavax RS (containing lindane, carboxin, and thiram), Epic (iprodione), and (or) captan tested in vitro at commercial rates. Six of 10 strains survived equally, and exhibited similar root colonization, on Vitavax RS treated and nontreated seed. Four of seven strains tested (Serratia spp. and P. fluorescens) were likewise found to be compatible with a captan seed treatment on supersweet corn, using the same criteria. Ability of bacteria to grow on pesticide-amended media did not always indicate compatibility with chemical seed treatments in vivo. A greenhouse study demonstrated that enhanced emergence occurred with the coryneform-like strain 44-9 on Vitavax RS treated canola seed grown under conditions favoring disease due to Rhizoctonia solani. The ability to combine plant growth promoting rhizobacterial strains with current agrichemicals for plant growth stimulation and disease control is indicated. Key words: pesticide compatibility, Pseudomonas, agrichemicals, Serratia, damping-off, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can display several plant-beneficial properties, including support to plant nutrition, regulation of plant growth, and biocontrol of pests. Mechanisms behind these effects are directly related to the presence and expression of specific genes, and different PGPR strains can be differentiated by the presence of different genes. In this study we reported a comprehensive evaluation of a novel PGPR Klebsiella variicola UC4115 from the field to the lab, and from the lab to the plant. The isolate from tomato field was screened in-vitro for different activities related to plant nutrition and growth regulation as well as for antifungal traits. We performed a functional annotation of genes contributing to plant-beneficial functions previously tested in-vitro. Furthermore, the in-vitro characterization, the whole genome sequencing and annotation of K. variicola UC4115, were compared with the well-known PGPR Azospirillum brasilense strain Sp7. This novel comparative analysis revealed different accumulation of plant-beneficial functions contributing genes, and the presence of different genes that accomplished the same functions. Greenhouse assays on tomato seedlings from BBCH 11–12 to BBCH > 14 were performed under either organic or conventional management. In each of them, three PGPR inoculations (control, K. variicola UC4115, A. brasilense Sp7) were applied at either seed-, root-, and seed plus root level. Results confirmed the PGP potential of K. variicola UC4115; in particular, its high value potential as indole-3-acetic acid producer was observed in increasing of root length density and diameter class length parameters. While, in general, A. brasilense Sp7 had a greater effect on biomass, probably due to its high ability as nitrogen-fixing bacteria. For K. variicola UC4115, the most consistent data were noticed under organic management, with application at seed level. While, A. brasilense Sp7 showed the greatest performance under conventional management. Our data highlight the necessity to tailor the selected PGPR, with the mode of inoculation and the crop-soil combination.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) contribute to an increase in crop yield through an environmentally friendly method, therefore eight rhizospheric bacteria, two of each genera Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Azotobacter and Azospirillum were examined for their efficacy to solubilize mineral nutrients using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and a flame photometer. Their potency to produce phytohormones, synthesis biocontrol components and their compatibility with pesticides using in vitro assays was studied. All of the chosen bacterial isolates proved positive for the above-mentioned Plant Growth Promoting traits. Among the eight bacterial isolates Pseudomonas isolate P69 showed the highest phosphorous solubilization efficiency of 190.91 % and another isolate P48 produced a maximum of 27.63µg mL-1 of gibberellic acid, Bacillus isolate B120 could solubilize maximum amount of ZnO and ZnCO3 accounting for 21.3ppm and 25.9ppm, respectively, not merely in terms of solubilization when compared to the other isolates, B120 produced the highest levels of HCN (77.33 ppm TCC) and siderophores (48.87psu). On day 9 after inoculation, Azotobacter isolate AZB17 performed effectively in potassium solubilization of 6.25g mL-1 with a pH drop to 3.83. The Azospirillum isolate ASP25 outperformed all other isolates in terms of IAA production (22.64g mL-1) and Bacillus isolate B365 was found to be more compatible with eight different pesticides used in the field at varying concentrations. All of these factors point to the possibility of using these bacterial isolates B120, P48, P69, AZB17, and ASP25 as biofertilizers in sustainable agriculture.

Plant Growth Promoting Traits

A laboratory experiment was performed to isolate some native rhizobacteria that could be used as bioinoculants for sustainable crop production. A total of 43 rhizobacteria were isolated from undisturbed plant rhizosphere soils of three different locations of Bangladesh and evaluated their plant growth promoting traits, both direct and indirect. The study has screened out isolates on the basis of their phosphorous solubilization and nitrogen (N) fixation. The phosphate solubilization assay in National Botanical Research Institute of Phosphate (NBRIP) medium revealed that 12 bacterial isolates were able to solubilize tricalcium phosphate and the rhizobacteria M25 showed best performance with a PSI of 3.33 at 5 day. Exactly 47% (20 isolates) of the isolated rhizobacteria were able to grow in N-free Winogradsky’s medium, which is an indication of potential N2-fixers. Among the 20 potential N-fixers, 15 were able to grow within 24 hours of incubation indicating that they are more efficient in Nfixation. The present study successfully isolated and characterized 43 rhizobacteria. Some of these isolated rhizobacteria have potential plant growth promoting traits and are potential plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) candidate. Considering all plant growth promoting traits, the isolate F37 was the best followed by M6. However, further experiments are needed to determine the effectiveness of these isolates under in vitro and different field conditions to understand the nature of interaction with the plant and environment.Res.

Abstract Plants live in close relationships with complex populations of microorganisms, including rhizobacterial species commonly referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are able to improve plant productivity, but the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain largely unknown. Using an in vitro experimental system, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and the well-characterized PGPR strain Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r (PsWCS417r), we carried out a comprehensive set of phenotypic and gene expression analyses. Our results show that PsWCS417r induces major transcriptional changes in sugar transport and in other key biological processes linked to plant growth, development, and defense. Notably, we identified a set of 13 genes of the SWEET and ERD6-like sugar transporter gene families whose expression is up- or down-regulated in response to seedling root inoculation with the PGPR or exposure to their volatile compounds. Using a reverse genetic approach, we demonstrate that SWEET11 and SWEET12 are functionally involved in the interaction and its plant growth-promoting effects, possibly by controlling the amount of sugar transported from the shoot to the root and to the PGPR. Altogether, our study reveals that PGPR-induced beneficial effects on plant growth and development are associated with changes in plant sugar transport.
