Abstract Rumex gmelinii Turcz. (RGT) is a medicinal plant of Rumex in Polygonaceae. Our research group isolated an endophytic fungus plectosaphaerella cucumerina (Strain J-G) from RGT, which could promote the growth of the host significantly when was co-cultured with the host. In this study, we mainly used transcriptomic analysis to explore the molecular mechanism of the growth promoting effect. It was found that during the process of co-culture with Strain J-G, metabolism of amino acids, the synthesis and metabolism of carbohydrates in RGT tissue culture seedlings were all promoted, which provided sufficient material and energy basis for the growth of plants. In addition, response to hormones such as auxin and cytokinin in RGT tissue culture seedlings was improved significantly, which promoted the growth and development of plants. The repairing ability of DNA in RGT tissue culture seedlings was also enhanced to provide a good guarantee for the growth of plants. Meanwhile, defense system of RGT tissue culture seedlings was also mobilized by the existence of Strain J-G, therefore more secondary metabolites and stress resistant substances were produced to ensure the normal growth and metabolism of plants.

The responses to hormones such as auxin and cytokinin were improved, which enhanced the growth and development of RGT tissue culture seedlings. The DNA repair capacities were improved, which provided a good guarantee for the growth of RGT tissue culture seedlings.

Dose Dependent

SUMMARY Pituitary growth hormone has a dose-dependent growth promoting effect in pituitary dwarf mice (Snell's strain), and this effect can be used as the basis of a bioassay for the hormone. Prolactin and thyroxine also promote growth in these animals, and the effects of these hormones in combination with growth hormone were studied, in order to see whether their presence might enhance the precision or sensitivity of the growth hormone assay. When prolactin and/or thyroxine were administered with growth hormone, the growth response observed was no greater than the sum of the effects of the hormones given separately; in some cases it was less. Neither prolactin nor thyroxine increase the sensitivity or precision of the growth hormone bioassay. The implications of these results for theories about the mechanisms of growth promotion by these hormones are considered.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate whether supplementing branched-chain amino acids (AA) (BCAA) along with a reduced-protein diet increases piglet growth, and whether elevated feed intake and muscle growth-promoting effect contribute to this improvement. In Expt 1, twenty-eight weanling piglets were randomly fed one of the following four diets: a positive control (PC) diet, a reduced-protein negative control (NC) diet, an NC diet supplemented with BCAA to the same levels as in the PC diet (test 1 (T1)) and an NC diet supplemented with a 2-fold dose of BCAA in T1 diet (test 2 (T2)) for 28 d. In Expt 2, twenty-one weanling piglets were randomly assigned to NC, T1 and pair-fed T1 (P) groups. NC and T1 diets were the same as in Expt 1, whereas piglets in the P group were individually pair-fed with the NC group. In Expt 1, the NC group had reduced piglet growth and feed intake compared with the PC group, which were restored in T1 and T2 groups, but no differences were detected between T1 and T2 groups. In Expt 2, T1 and P groups showed increases in growth and mass of some muscles compared with the NC group. Increased feed intake after BCAA supplementation was associated with increased mRNA expressions of agouti-related peptide and co-express neuropeptide Y (NPY) and phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1), as well as decreased mRNA expressions of melanocortin-4 receptor and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript and phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α in the hypothalamus. No differences were observed among PC, T1 and T2 groups except for higher NPY mRNA expression in the T2 group than in the PC group (Expt 1). Phosphorylation of mTOR and S6K1 in muscle was enhanced after BCAA supplementation, which was independent of change in feed intake (Expt 2). In conclusion, supplementing BCAA to reduced-protein diets increases feed intake and muscle mass, and contributes to better growth performance in piglets.

Growth Promoting

Some fungi may promote plant growth by production of siderophores, Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and phosphorus dissolving capability. In this study, eight fungi were isolated from the mushroom substrate, and their siderophores production, IAA production and phosphorus dissolving traits were determined. Although there was no significant difference in IAA production among the eight fungi, but the strain M13026-2 was a fungus with strong growth promoting traits compared with other seven fungi. In order to study the correlation between the growth promoting effect of cucumber pot culture and the above three traits, five fungi with different strength of traits were tested in pot. As a result, M13026- 2 which was identified as Talaromyces purpureogenus could significantly improve the growth parameters of cucumber seedlings, and could colonize in the rhizosphere soil and the tissue of cucumber stably. All the results suggested that the most relevant to their ability to promote plant growth is the trait of phosphorus dissolving, followed by siderophores production. The results of this study will provide scientific basis for the efficient selection and identification of a large number of fungi resources with the function of promoting plant growth, and reveal the good application potential of T. purpureogenus in agriculture fields.

The Impact

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) deploy several mechanisms to improve plant health, growth and yield. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two Pseudomonas spp. strains and three Bacillus spp. strains used as single treatments and in consortia to improve the yield of Cannabis sativa and characterize the impact of these treatments on the diversity, structure and functions of the rhizosphere microbiome. Herein, we demonstrate a significant C. sativa yield increase up to 70% when inoculated with three different Pseudomonas spp./Bacillus spp. consortia but not with single inoculation treatments. This growth-promoting effect was observed in two different commercial soil substrates commonly used to grow cannabis: Promix and Canna coco. Marker-based genomic analysis highlighted Bacillus spp. as the main modulator of the rhizosphere microbiome diversity and Pseudomonas spp. as being strongly associated with plant growth promotion. We describe an increase abundance of predicted PGPR metabolic pathways linked with growth-promoting interactions in C. sativa.

Plants in their natural ecosystems interact with numerous microorganisms, but how they influence their microbiota is still elusive. We observed that sulfatase activity in soil, which can be used as a measure of rhizosphere microbial activity, is differently affected by Arabidopsis accessions. Following a genome-wide association analysis of the variation in sulfatase activity we identified a candidate gene encoding an uncharacterized cytochrome P450, CYP71A27. Loss of this gene resulted in 2 different and independent microbiota-specific phenotypes: A lower sulfatase activity in the rhizosphere and a loss of plant growth-promoting effect by Pseudomonas sp. CH267. On the other hand, tolerance to leaf pathogens was not affected, which agreed with prevalent expression of CYP71A27 in the root vasculature. The phenotypes of cyp71A27 mutant were similar to those of cyp71A12 and cyp71A13, known mutants in synthesis of camalexin, a sulfur-containing indolic defense compound. Indeed, the cyp71A27 mutant accumulated less camalexin in the roots upon elicitation with silver nitrate or flagellin. Importantly, addition of camalexin complemented both the sulfatase activity and the loss of plant growth promotion by Pseudomonas sp. CH267. Two alleles of CYP71A27 were identified among Arabidopsis accessions, differing by a substitution of Glu373 by Gln, which correlated with the ability to induce camalexin synthesis and to gain fresh weight in response to Pseudomonas sp. CH267. Thus, CYP71A27 is an additional component in the camalexin synthesis pathway, contributing specifically to the control of plant microbe interactions in the root.
