Several studies have reported the beneficial effects of inoculation of Azospirillum brasilense in wheat, but only a few of them have related the co-inoculation of A. brasilense and Rhizobium sp. and the evaluation of different inoculation methods. This study aimed i) to verify the efficiency of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) in subtropical environments, ii) to verify the efficiency of co-inoculation of A. brasilense and Rhizobium sp., and iii) to verify the efficiency of the management of different inoculation methods in the wheat crop. The experiments were carried out in Londrina and Apucarana, State of Paraná, Brazil, under a complete randomized block design, with four replications and nine treatments: T1) absence of nitrogen (N) topdressing, T2) 30 kg ha−1 of N topdressing, T3) 60 kg ha−1 of N topdressing, T4) A. brasilense Ab-V5 in the seeds, T5) A. brasilense Ab-V5 in post-emergence, T6) A. brasilense Ab-V5 + Rhizobium sp. 53GRM1 in the seeds, T7) A. brasilense Ab-V5 + Rhizobium sp. 53GRM1 in post-emergence, T8) commercial inoculant (A. brasilense Ab-V5 + Ab-V6) in the seeds, and T9) commercial inoculant (A. brasilense Ab-V5 + Ab-V6) in post-emergence. The number of ears per linear meter, number of spikelets, number of grains per spikelet, number of grains per ear, thousand-grain weight, number of spikelets to ears ratio, leaf nitrogen content, and grain yield were evaluated. Leaf N content and yield components showed no alterations due to the inoculation and co-inoculation performed both in the seed and in the post-emergence of seedlings. Treatments T3, T7, and T9 showed the highest means of grain yield (2077.50, 1743.12, and 1660.62 kg ha−1, respectively), demonstrating that co-inoculation with A. brasilense Ab-V5 + Rhizobium sp. 53GRM1 and inoculation with A. brasilense Ab-V5 + Ab-V6, both in post-emergence of seedlings, have the potential to replace the topdressing nitrogen fertilization in wheat.

ABSTRACT The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria is a promising alternative with low environmental impact to increase the efficiency of use of chemical fertilizers, ensuring high yield with better cost-effective ratio. In maize crops, several studies have demonstrated an increased yield when Azospirillum-based inoculants are used. In the case of popcorn, there are no available studies related to use of inoculation and its response on yield parameters. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the field performance of popcorn when inoculated with the commercial product Masterfix L (A. brasilense Ab-V5 and A. brasilense Ab-V6) and the non-commercial inoculant UEL (A. brasilense Ab-V5 + Rhizobium sp. 53GRM1) associated with nitrogen fertilization. The trials were conducted in Londrina and Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil, in a randomized block design with four replications, in a split plot design with the inoculation treatments located in the plots (uninoculated, Masterfix L, and UEL) and the different N rates located in the subplots where ammonium sulphate was applied in the topdressing at the V6 stage (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg∙ha–1). The variance analysis showed significant effects (p < 0.05) of inoculation (Londrina environment) and N rates (both environments) only for grain yield. There was no inoculation effect in the grain yield when inoculants were applied together with N-fertilization at topdressing. In the absence of N-fertilization at topdressing, the inoculants Masterfix L. and UEL promoted higher grain yield as compared to the uninoculated plants, with resulting increases of 13.21 and 26.61% in yield, respectively.

Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a useful alternative to ryegrass in New Zealand pasture but it is slow to establish. Naturally occurring beneficial bacteria in the rhizosphere can improve plant growth and health through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms.

Miscanthus spp. are energy plants and excellent candidates for phytoremediation approaches of metal(loid)s-contaminated soils, especially when combined with plant growth-promoting bacteria. Forty-one bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soils and roots tissue of five dominant plants (Artemisia argyi Levl., Gladiolus gandavensis Vaniot Houtt, Boehmeria nivea L., Veronica didyma Tenore, and Miscanthus floridulus Lab.) colonizing a cadmium (Cd)-contaminated mining area (Huayuan, Hunan, China). We subsequently tested their plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits (e.g., production of indole-3-acetic acid, siderophore, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase) and Cd tolerance. Among bacteria, two strains, Klebsiella michiganensis TS8 and Lelliottia jeotgali MR2, presented higher Cd tolerance and showed the best results regarding in vitro growth-promoting traits. In the subsequent pot experiments using soil spiked with 10 mg Cd·kg−1, we investigated the effects of TS8 and MR2 strains on soil Cd phytoremediation when combined with M. floridulus (Lab.). After sixty days of planting M. floridulus (Lab.), we found that TS8 increased plant height by 39.9%, dry weight of leaves by 99.1%, and the total Cd in the rhizosphere soil was reduced by 49.2%. Although MR2 had no significant effects on the efficiency of phytoremediation, it significantly enhanced the Cd translocation from the root to the aboveground tissues (translocation factor > 1). The combination of K. michiganensis TS8 and M. floridulus (Lab.) may be an effective method to remediate Cd-contaminated soils, while the inoculation of L. jeotgali MR2 may be used to enhance the phytoextraction potential of M. floridulus.

Jejubacter calystegiae KSNA2T, a moderately halophilic, endophytic bacterium isolated from beach morning glory (Calystegia soldanella), was determined to be a novel species in a new genus in the family Enterobacteriaceae. To gain insights into the genetic basis of the salinity stress response of strain KSNA2T, we sequenced its genome using two complementary sequencing platforms (Illumina HiSeq and PacBio RSII). The genome contains a repertoire of metabolic pathways, such as those for nitrogen, phosphorus, and some amino acid metabolism pathways. Functional annotation of the KSNA2T genome revealed several genes involved in salt tolerance pathways, such as those encoding sodium transporters, potassium transporters, and osmoprotectant enzymes. Plant growth-promoting bacteria-based experiments indicated that strain KSNA2T promotes the germination of vegetable seeds in saline conditions. Overall, the genetic and biological analyses of strain KSNA2T provide valuable insights into bacteria-mediated salt tolerance in agriculture.
