Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have the ability to enhance growth and establishment by reducing stress ethylene, or providing exogenous indol-3-acetic acid (IAA), nitrogen, iron, or phosphorus. In previous greenhouse studies, PGPR inoculation of asparagus seeds or seedlings enhanced growth under optimal and water stress conditions. Experiments were conducted in this study to determine if PGPR could provide benefits to transplanted crowns and germinating seeds in the field. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria did not positively affect shoot height, count, or diameter of inoculated crowns, or percent germination and seedling dry weight of inoculated seeds. The limitations of using PGPR in the field and potential for future success are discussed.Key words: Asparagus officinalis, Pseudomonas , water stress, drought, irrigation

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can have positive effects on vigour and productivity, especially under stress conditions. In asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) field culture, seeds are planted in high-density nurseries, and 1-year-old crowns are transplanted to production fields. Performance can be negatively affected by water stress, transplant shock, and disease pressure on wounded roots. PGPR inoculation has the potential to alleviate some of the stresses incurred in the production system. In this study, the effects of PGPR ( Pseudomonas spp.) treatment were determined on 3-week-old greenhouse-grown seedlings and germinating seeds of 2 asparagus cultivars. The pots were irrigated to a predetermined level that resulted in optimum growth or the plants were subjected to drought or flooding stress for 8 weeks. The cultivars responded differently to PGPR: single inoculations of seedlings enhanced growth of ‘Guelph Millennium’ under optimum conditions and ‘Jersey Giant’ seedlings under drought stress. Seed inoculations with PGPR resulted in a positive response only for ‘Guelph Millennium’, for which both single or multiple inoculations enhanced plant growth under drought stress.

Water stress decreases the health and quality of horticulture crops by inhibiting photosynthesis, transpiration, and nutrient uptake. Application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can increase the growth, stress tolerance, and overall quality of field and greenhouse grown crops subjected to water stress. Here, we evaluated Serratia plymuthica MBSA-MJ1 for its ability to increase plant growth and quality of Petunia × hybrida (petunia), Impatiens walleriana (impatiens), and Viola × wittrockiana (pansy) plants recovering from severe water stress. Plants were treated weekly with inoculum of MBSA-MJ1, and plant growth and quality were evaluated 2 weeks after recovery from water stress. Application of S. plymuthica MBSA-MJ1 increased the visual quality and shoot biomass of petunia and impatiens and increased the flower number of petunia after recovery from water stress. In addition, in vitro characterizations showed that MBSA-MJ1 is a motile bacterium with moderate levels of antibiotic resistance that can withstand osmotic stress. Further, comprehensive genomic analyses identified genes putatively involved in bacterial osmotic and oxidative stress responses and the synthesis of osmoprotectants and vitamins that could potentially be involved in increasing plant water stress tolerance. This work provides a better understanding of potential mechanisms involved in beneficial plant-microbe interactions under abiotic stress using a novel S. plymuthica strain as a model.

The preliminary studies on the effect of different strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) alone and in combination with IBA at 1000 ppm on rooting in cuttings of apple clonal rootstock Merton 793 were carried out during 2012-13. The PGPR strains (RG (1)3 – Bacillus sp.), B6 – Bacillus licheniformis and R3 (3) – Sirretia sp. alone failed to induce rooting response in cuttings of apple clonal rootstock Merton 793. The results revealed that IBA 2500 ppm recorded the maximum rooting (65 %), number of primary roots (5.00), length (28.43 cm) and diameter (3.25 mm) of primary roots, fresh (3.67 g) and dry weight (2.59 g) of roots, length of main shoot (134.14cm), diameter of main shoot (8.18 mm), fresh (30.40 g) and dry weight (22.60 g) of shoots in cuttings of Merton 793. However, the PGPR strains RG (1)3 – Bacillus sp., B6 – Bacillus licheniformis and R3 (3) – Sirretia sp. in combination with IBA 1000 ppm showed improvement in rooting of cuttings to the extent of 10, 15 and 5 per cent rooting, respectively and growth of the rooted plants. IBA at 2500 ppm resulted better rooting and growth of rooted plants. Hence, this treatment is suggested for commercial propagation of apple clonal rootstock Merton 793 through cuttings.

Penelitian ini bertujuan yang menguji Perbandingan pertumbuhan vegetatif tanaman cabai merah (capsicum Annuum L.) akibat Pemberian Komposisi PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria) yang perbeda. Pertumbuhan tanaman diukur berdasarkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, volume akar, berat basah dan berat kering tanaman. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa PGPR dapat meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, volume akar, berat basah dan berat kering tanaman cabe.Tinggi tanaman terbaik setelah diperlakuan selama 28 hari adalah dengan pemberian PGPR disertai dengan pemberian pupuk kandang dengan tinggi (24.44 cm), yang diikuti oleh pemberian PGPR + kompos dengan tinggi (22.04 cm), dan pemberian PGPR + NPK dengan tnggi tanaman 19.68 cm . Volume akar akan lebih tinggi bila diberikan PGPR yang ditambah dengan pupuk kandang , atau kompos maupun NPK, tetapi tdak berbeda hasilnya bila hanya diberikan PGPR saja. Jumlah daun dapat ditingkatkan bila diberikan PGPR yang ditambah dengan pupuk kandang, atau kompos maupun NPK. Pemberian PGPR + NPK tidak memberikan jumlah daun yang berbeda dengan pemberian PGPR saja.Berat basah akan meningkat bila diberikan PGPR saja maupun ditambah dengan pemberian pupuk kandang, atau kompos maupun NPK. PGPR ditambah dengan pupuk kandang maupun kompos memberikan dampak yang sama terhadap berat basah.Berat kering akan meningkat bila diberikan PGPR saja maupun ditambah dengan pemberian pupuk kandang, atau kompos maupun NPK. PGPR ditambah dengan pupuk kandang maupun kompos memberikan dampak yang sama terhadap berat basahThis study aimed to examine the comparison of vegetative growth of red chili (capsicum Annuum L.) due to the administration of different PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria) Composition. Plant growth was measured based on plant height, number of leaves, root volume, wet weight and dry weight of the plant. The results showed that PGPR can increase plant height, number of leaves, root volume, wet weight and dry weight of chilli plants. The best plant height after being treated for 28 days is by giving PGPR accompanied by administering manure with height (24.44 cm), followed by by giving PGPR + compost with a height (22.04 cm), and giving PGPR + NPK with a plant height of 19.68 cm. Root volume will be higher if given PGPR added with manure, or compost or NPK, but the results are not different if only given PGPR. The number of leaves can be increased if given PGPR added with manure, or compost or NPK. Provision of PGPR + NPK does not provide a number of leaves that are different from the administration of PGPR alone. Wet weight increased when given PGPR alone or added with manure, or compost or NPK. PGPR added with manure or compost gives the same effect on wet weight. Dry weight will increase if given PGPR alone or added with manure, or compost or NPK. PGPR coupled with manure or compost has the same effect on wet weight

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are the bacteria which subsist inside and outside of the plant tissue and promote plant growth through direct or indirect mechanisms. To increase sorghum production and productivity we utilize herbicides and chemical fertilizers to overcome sorghum production constraints, but those chemicals have negative side effects. The current study was conducted with the objective of isolation of PGPR from sorghum rhizosphere and screening for primary growth related trait, evaluation of potential PGPR at greenhouse for sorghum growth performance and identify through biochemical characterization. So that, in this study a total of 117 plant growth promoting rhizobacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of 12 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotype by cultivating using 3 collected soil samples from the northern part of Ethiopia (Amhara and Tigray regional states) in greenhouse. Isolated bacteria were screened for primary growth promoting traits such as phosphate solubilization test, IAA production test at different concentration of L-tryptophan and ammonia production test. From the isolated bacteria 28% solubilized Phosphorous, 78% produced IAA at different concentration of tryptophan. The greatest IAA production was scored at 100 mg/L of tryptophan and the lowest production of IAA was scored at 150 mg/L of tryptophan, 69% of isolated bacteria produced ammonia. Hence, 15% of isolated bacteria fulfilled the above primary screening test and used for further greenhouse evaluation. Accordingly, eighteen bacteria were tested for greenhouse experiment using completely randomized design and all 18 isolates were significantly increased all the agronomic parameter as compared to the control such as plant shoot height, plant shoot fresh and dry weight, root length, root fresh and dry weight at p < 0.01 and P ≤ 0.001. Two isolates G6E29 and G4E19 had significantly increased all the parameter but two isolates (G12E19 and G3E40) were statistically non-significant for root fresh weight compared to the control. These 18 potential isolates were characterized morphologically and biochemically. Eight isolates were grouped at Pseudomonas genera. Six isolates were grouped at Azotobacter and the rest four isolates were grouped at Bacillus genera. Thus, the use of plant growth promoting rhizosphere bacteria could be useful to improve sorghum production and productivity. However, further molecular identification and evaluation of the isolates exhibiting multiple plant growths promoting traits on plant-microbe interaction for economic crop of Ethiopia is needed to uncover their efficacy as effective plant growth promoting rhizosphere bacteria.

Potato Plantlets

A gnotobiotic bioassay, using potato plantlets derived from single-node explants and grown in test tubes containing potato nodal cutting medium (PNCM), was found to be highly useful for investigations of direct growth promotion by a nonfluorescent Pseudomonas sp. strain PsJN. Strain PsJN was used to optimize and evaluate this bioassay for purposes of screening other rhizosphere bacteria and identification of Tn5 mutants of strain PsJN deficient in growth-promoting properties. The selection of potato cultivar used in this bioassay was critical, as growth promotion of potatoes by strain PsJN was cultivar specific. Inoculated plantlets of cultivars Norchip, Kennebec, Shepody, and Chaleur showed, in root dry weight, a five- to eight-fold increase, two- to three-fold increase, no response, and a decrease of 50%, respectively. Haulm dry weight followed similar trends but was not as consistent an indicator of growth promotion. Bioassay results were not altered to any extent by minor changes in PNCM composition or by slight changes in temperature and light conditions. A rapid method for preparation of bacterial suspensions and inoculation of explants was developed. Inoculation of three explants taken from 6-week-old stock plantlets of cv. Kennebec for each Tn5 transconjugate of strain PsJN (total of 1500 transconjugates) enabled the elimination of 93% of those isolates that retained growth-promoting activity. The remaining 7% of isolates were retested and seven were confirmed to have lost growth-promoting ability. Bacteria from different genera were also screened with this bioassay. None of these bacteria increased the growth of potato plantlets, but several inhibited root and haulm growth.Key words: plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, gnotobiotic, tissue culture, nonfluorescent pseudomonad, bacterium, potato.
