Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a diazotrophic endophyte that is a potential biofertilizer. Little is known about the mechanisms of G. diazotrophicus interaction with its host plants. We tested the effect of UV light, as an inducer of secondary metabolite accumulation, on the association between common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seedling roots and G. diazotrophicus. UV light irradiation of seedlings 4 h prior to bacterial inoculation increased the number of bacterial cells associated with the roots by 5.65-fold with respect to a nonirradiated control (p < 0.05). Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus associates with root hairs and root border cells. Aggregation of bacterial cells was observed in root structures from UV-induced seedlings. Secondary metabolite accumulation was also observed in roots from UV-irradiated seedlings.

The objective of this work was to test a simple method for root hair evaluation of 21 common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, most of them used in breeding programs in Brazil. Hairs of basal and primary roots of 5-day old seedlings, produced on germination paper with no phosphorus addition, were visually evaluated by a rating scale after staining with 0.05% trypan blue. The method reveals variability among the genotypes, and the standard error of the mean is relatively low.

Bacterial microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) play an important role in innate plant immunity. This in vitro study evaluated the putative role of protein elicitor PeBA1 derived from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NC6 strain in eliciting induced resistance type responses in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants against green peach aphid Myzus persicae. Nymphal developmental time of aphids was significantly prolonged and the fecundity was significantly reduced by different concentrations of PeBA1 elicitor (i.e. 40.51, 24.91 and 16.38 µg mL-1) applied at three different temperature regimes (i.e. 21, 27 and 30 °C). Moreover, foliar application of PeBA1 elicitor protein strongly up-regulated the expression levels of salicylic acid (SA) pathway-associated genes, while the expression levels of jasmonic acid (JA) pathway-associated genes exhibited a moderate induction. Quantification by LC/MSMS revealed a linear increase of both SA and JA plant defense hormones along with the time of exposure. Our findings suggest that the bacterial elicitor protein PeBA1 could be used as an effective biological pest management tool against phloem-feeding insect pests such as green peach aphids M. persicae.
