There are pressing needs to reduce the use of agrochemicals, and PGPR are receiving increasing interest in plant growth promotion and disease protection. This study follows up our previous report that the four newly isolated rhizobacteria promote the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana .

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that affects plant growth and development. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria to mitigcate salt stress damage in plants is an important way to promote crop growth under salt stress conditions. Rahnella aquatilis JZ-GX1 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial strain, but it is not clear whether it can improve the salt tolerance of plants, and in particular, the role of volatile substances in plant salt tolerance is unknown. We investigated the effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from JZ-GX1 on the growth performance, osmotic substances, ionic balance and antioxidant enzyme activities of acacia seedlings treated with 0 and 100mm NaCl and explored the VOCs associated with the JZ-GX1 strain. The results showed that compared to untreated seedlings, seedlings exposed to plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium JZ-GX1 via direct contact with plant roots under salt stress conditions exhibited increases in fresh weight, lateral root number and primary root length equal to approximately 155.1, 95.4, and 71.3%, respectively. Robinia pseudoacacia seedlings exposed to VOCs of the JZ-GX1 strain showed increases in biomass, soil and plant analyser development values and lateral root numbers equal to 132.1, 101.6, and 166.7%, respectively. Additionally, decreases in malondialdehyde, superoxide anion (O2−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contents and increases in proline contents and superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities were observed in acacia leaves. Importantly, the sodium-potassium ratios in the roots, stems, and leaves of acacia exposed to VOCs of the JZ-GX1 strain were significantly lower than those in the control samples, and this change in ion homeostasis was consistent with the upregulated expression of the (Na+, K+)/H+ reverse cotransporter RpNHX1 in plant roots. Through GC-MS and creatine chromatography, we also found that 2,3-butanediol in the volatile gases of the JZ-GX1 strain was one of the important signaling substances for improving the salt tolerance of plants. The results showed that R. aquatilis JZ-GX1 can promote the growth and yield of R. pseudoacacia under normal and salt stress conditions. JZ-GX1 VOCs have good potential as protectants for improving the salt tolerance of plants, opening a window of opportunity for their application in salinized soils.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the plant growth promoting effects on Arabidopsis by Pseudomonas sp. strains associated with rhizosphere of crop plants grown in Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Out of all the screened isolates, Pseudomonas PS01 isolated from maize rhizosphere showed the most prominent plant growth promoting effects on Arabidopsis and maize (Zea mays). We also found that PS01 altered root system architecture (RSA). The full genome of PS01 was resolved using high-throughput sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis identified PS01 as a member of the Pseudomonas putida subclade, which is closely related to Pseudomonas taiwanensis.. PS01 genome size is 5.3 Mb, assembled in 71 scaffolds comprising of 4820 putative coding sequence. PS01 encodes genes for the indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), acetoin and 2,3-butanediol biosynthesis pathways. PS01 promoted the growth of Arabidopsis and altered the root system architecture by inhibiting primary root elongation and promoting lateral root and root hair formation. By employing gene expression analysis, genetic screening and pharmacological approaches, we suggested that the plant-growth promoting effects of PS01 and the alteration of RSA might be independent of bacterial auxin and could be caused by a combination of different diffusible compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Taken together, our results suggest that PS01 is a potential candidate to be used as bio-fertilizer agent for enhancing plant growth.

This paper originates from an address at the 8th International Symposium on Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes, Sydney, NSW, December 2000 Arabidopsis thaliana L. has many features favoring its use as a model in studies of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), such as diazotrophs. Several niches are colonized in the root system of Arabidopsis, including xylem, and intact colonized roots can be observed microscopically without sectioning of tissues. Studies of plant genes involved in colonization are facilitated by the ease with which plants are transformed and by the availability of mutant lines and other accessions obtainable from stock centers. Lines of Arabidopsis carrying reporter gene fusions are helping to reveal the pattern of expression of previously cloned plant genes induced by rhizobacteria. Studies utilizing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-producing PGPR and Arabidopsis that contain an auxin-responsive GUS fusion suggest that plants perceive IAA released by bacteria in the rhizosphere. The role of flavonoids in the colonization of non-legumes is being assessed using transgenic Arabidopsis with altered flavonoid metabolism and using tt mutants, which lack functional versions of specific genes for flavonoid metabolism. Studies of plant defence and of stress responses are producing molecular data on plant genes induced by inoculation of Arabidopsis roots with non-pathogens.

As soil salinization is a major concern of modern agriculture and an expected threat in climate change scenarios, special effort will be required for maintaining crop production under salt stress. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a promising agricultural practice to help less salt tolerant crops to maintain an acceptable level of productivity under higher salt concentrations. Here, we have isolated the PGPR from the rhizosphere soil in Can Gio Mangrove Forest, Vietnam. Fifteen isolates of bacteria were successfully isolated on medium containing 10 % NaCl. Subsequently, to investigate the effects of PGPR isolates on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana, seeds were treated with the PGPR and observed the germination as well as the seedling growth. Under stress condition, all bacteria inhibited the germination, however, 02NP01, 04PP02 and 06NS01, identified as Bacillus thuringiensis, Vibrio and Halomonas elongata, respectively, could promote Arabidopsis thaliana seedling growth compared to the control. Further analysis found that three bacteria exhibited the ability to fix nitrogen, solubilize inorganic phosphorus and produce phytohormone-auxin. In addition, under normal condition, Bacillus and Vibrio significantly increased A. thaliana germination, after treatment with Bacillus and Vibrio the seed germination rate increased by 36.60 % and 69.76 % respectively compared to the control. Our research shows that isolated potential rhizobacterial strains may be used as an effective tool for enhancing Arabidopsis thaliana seedling growth under salinity stress.
