The present investigation was carried out to exploit bacterial endophytes associated with root and leaf tissue of rice plant for plant growth promotion (PGP) and colonization study in vitro. Total 10 endophytic bacterial isolates (Pseudomonas sp.) were evaluate for PGP traits like P solubilization, production of Indole acetic acid (IAA), siderophore, ACC deaminase, protease, cellulase, fluorescent pigment, urease and denitrification activity. Out of 10 endophytic bacteria 30 %, 60 %, 20 %, 70 %, 10 % and 10 % were positive for siderophore, protease, cellulase, fluorescent pigment, urease and denitrification respectively. Maximum IAA production was recorded with isolate LRBLE7 (18.8 μgml-1) followed by LRBRE4 (16.0 μgml-1) and maximum P-solubilization was recorded with isolate LRBRE4 (5.8 mg 100 ml-1) followed by LRBLE7 (4.4 mg 100 ml-1). ACC deaminase production was recorded with isolate LRBLE6 (O.D=0.352 nm) followed by LRBRE5 (O.D=0.324nm). Three potential isolates (LRBRE4, LRBRE6 and LRBLE7) were selected on the basis of multiple PGP traits and were subjected to colonization study of rice seedling in vitro. Potential bacterial isolates can be exploited for improving growth and productivity in rice under sustainable management system.

The potential utilization of a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas sp. strain PsJN, to enhance the resistance of tomato transplants to verticillium wilt was investigated. Plant growth and disease development were tested on the disease-susceptible cultivar Bonny Best after Verticillium dahliae infection of tissue culture plantlets bacterized in vitro (by co-culturing with the bacterium) and seedlings bacterized in vivo (after 3 weeks growth in the greenhouse). Significant differences in both disease suppression and plant growth were obtained between in vitro bacterized and nonbacterized (control) plants. The degree of protection afforded by in vitro bacterization depended on the inoculum density of V. dahliae; the best and worst protection occurred at the lowest (103 conidia ·mL-1) and highest (106 conidia ·mL-1) levels, respectively. In contrast, the in vivo bacterized tomatoes did not show plant growth promotion when compared to the nonbacterized control plants. When challenged with Verticillium, significant growth differences between in vivo bacterized plants (26.8% for shoot height) and nonbacterized controls were only seen at the 3rd week after inoculation. Compared with the in vitro inoculation, there was no delay in the verticillium wilt symptom expression, even at the lowest concentration of V. dahliae, by in vivo PsJN inoculation. These results suggest that endophytic colonization of tomato tissues is required for the Verticillium-resistance responses. Plant growth promotion preceeds the disease-resistance responses and may depend on the colonization thresholds and subsequent sensitization of hosts.Key words: Pseudomonas sp., plant growth promoting rhizobacterium, Verticillium dahliae, tomato, colonization, plant growth promotion, disease suppression.

The effects of inoculum density (0, 4.6 × 107, 4.2 × 108, and 8.8 × 108 cfu∙mL−1), temperature (10, 20, and 30 °C), and plant genotype (cultivars Celebrity, Blazer, Scotia, and Mountain Delight) on bacterial colonization and plant growth promotion were investigated in a gnotobiotic system. An in vitro dual culture of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) plantlets and a Pseudomonas sp., strain PsJN, were used. Epiphytic (external) and endophytic (internal) bacterial populations were determined to evaluate plantlet colonization. Shoot and root biomass of bacterized plantlets was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than that of nonbacterized controls. Growth promotion was best with inoculum densities of 3 × 108 – 7 × 108 cfu∙mL−1 at 20 °C, particularly in the early maturing cultivars Blazer and Scotia. Lower inoculum densities were required to maximize root growth (approximately 1 × 108 cfu∙mL−1) than shoot growth (approximately 3 × 108 cfu∙mL−1). Shoot surface populations did not vary with inoculum density or temperature, but the bacterium colonized the shoot exterior of cultivars Celebrity, Mountain Delight, and Scotia better than cultivar Blazer. The root surface populations increased linearly with increasing inoculum density (within a range of 107–108 cfu∙mL−1), decreased with increasing temperatures (from 10 to 30 °C), and were higher for the main season cultivar Celebrity than for cultivars Blazer, Scotia, and Mountain Delight. Populations of shoot endophytes did not vary with initial inoculum density or genotype but were affected by temperature; the highest colonization was at 10 °C. The number of root endophytes was also highest at 10 °C at the inoculum density of approximately 4 × 108 cfu∙mL−1 and did not vary with genotypes. The experiments clearly indicate that there was no relationship between root surface colonization and plant growth promotion. However, the range of inoculum levels (3 × 108 – 7 × 108 cfu∙mL−1) that promoted colonization of the inner root tissues (endophytic) also best promoted plant growth. A possible biostimulation threshold within the tissues of the inoculated plants under conditions favourable to the growth of tomato is proposed.Key words: Pseudomonas sp., tomato, colonization, growth promotion.

Endophytic bacteria hold tremendous potential for use as biocontrol agents. Our study aimed to investigate the biocontrol activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens BRZ63, a new endophyte of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) against Rhizoctonia solani W70, Colletotrichum dematium K, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum K2291, and Fusarium avenaceum. In addition, features crucial for biocontrol, plant growth promotion, and colonization were assessed and linked with the genome sequences. The in vitro tests showed that BRZ63 significantly inhibited the mycelium growth of all tested pathogens and stimulated germination and growth of oilseed rape seedlings treated with fungal pathogens. The BRZ63 strain can benefit plants by producing biosurfactants, siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, and ammonia as well as phosphate solubilization. The abilities of exopolysaccharide production, autoaggregation, and biofilm formation additionally underline its potential to plant colonization and hence biocontrol. The effective colonization properties of the BRZ63 strain were confirmed by microscopy observations of EGFP-expressing cells colonizing the root surface and epidermal cells of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0. Genome mining identified many genes related to the biocontrol process, such as transporters, siderophores, and other secondary metabolites. All analyses revealed that the BRZ63 strain is an excellent endophytic candidate for biocontrol of various plant pathogens and plant growth promotion.
