Growth and productivity of rice are negatively affected by soil salinity. However, some salt-tolerant rhizosphere-inhabiting bacteria can improve salt resistance of plants, thereby augmenting plant growth and production. Here, we isolated a total of 53 plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from saline and non-saline areas in Bangladesh where electrical conductivity was measured as >7.45 and <1.80 dS/m, respectively. Bacteria isolated from saline areas were able to grow in a salt concentration of up to 2.60 mol/L, contrary to the isolates collected from non-saline areas that did not survive beyond 854 mmol/L. Among the salt-tolerant isolates, Bacillus aryabhattai, Achromobacter denitrificans, and Ochrobactrum intermedium, identified by comparing respective sequences of 16S rRNA using the NCBI GenBank, exhibited a higher amount of atmospheric nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and indoleacetic acid production at 200 mmol/L salt stress. Salt-tolerant isolates exhibited greater resistance to heavy metals and antibiotics, which could be due to the production of an exopolysaccharide layer outside the cell surface. Oryza sativa L. fertilized with B. aryabhattai MS3 and grown under 200 mmol/L salt stress was found to be favoured by enhanced expression of a set of at least four salt-responsive plant genes: BZ8, SOS1, GIG, and NHX1. Fertilization of rice with osmoprotectant-producing PGPR, therefore, could be a climate-change-preparedness strategy for coastal agriculture.

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.

Cabai merupakan komoditas hortikultura penting di Indonesia. Cabai banyak dibudidayakan karena memiliki harga jual dan permintaan pasar yang tinggi. Perlu adanya stabilisasi untuk meningkatkan produksi cabai sehingga kebutuhan cabai dapat terpenuhi. Beberapa usaha untuk meningkatkan produksi cabai yaitu pemenuhan unsur hara berdasarkan kebutuhan tanaman cabai. Pemberian pupuk kandang mampu membantu menyediakan hara yang dibutuhkan tanaman cabai tanpa merusak tanah jika digunakan dalam waktu panjang. Peningkatan efektifitas pupuk kandang dapat dilakukan dengan penambahan biofertilizer seperti PGPR. Kombinasi pupuk kandang dan PGPR dapat dijadikan alternatif untuk meningkatkan kesuburan tanah, pertumbuhan, produksi tanaman cabai tanpa menyebabkan kerusakan lahan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret sampai dengan Juli 2020 di Green House dan Laboratorium Ekologi dan Produksi Tanaman, Fakultas Peternakan dan Pertanian, Universitas Diponegoro, Semarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan pola faktorial 3x5 dengan 3 ulangan. Faktor pertama (P) yaitu pupuk kandang ayam (P1), pupuk kandang sapi (P2), pupuk kandang kambing (P3). Faktor kedua (B) terdiri dari kontrol/0 ml/liter (B0), PGPR komersial 5 ml/liter (B1), PGPR 5 ml/liter (B2), PGPR 12,5 ml/liter (B3) dan PGPR 20 ml/liter (B4). Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam (ANOVA). Uji lanjut yang digunakan yaitu uji jarak berganda duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemberian pupuk kandang ayam memberikan pertumbuhan dan produksi terbaik pada variabel tinggi tanaman tetapi pupuk kandang ayam tidak berbeda nyata dengan pupuk kandang sapi pada bobot buah per tanaman, jumlah buah per tanaman, dan berat segar tanaman. Perlakuan konsentrasi PGPR serta interaksi antara jenis pupuk kandang dan konsentrasi tidak berpengaruh pada semua variabel pengamatan.

Salt stress is one of the major constraints hampering agricultural production owing to its impact on ethylene production and nutritional imbalance. A check on the accelerated ethylene production in plants could be helpful in minimizing the negative effect of salt stress on plant growth and development. Four Pseudomonas , 1 Flavobacterium , and 1 Enterobacter strain of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria containing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC)-deaminase were selected and their effects on growth and yield of maize were investigated to improve the salt tolerance of maize grown on salt-affected fields. The selected rhizobacterial isolates reduced or eliminated the classical “triple” response, indicating their ability to reduce stress-induced ethylene levels. Results showed that rhizobacterial strains, particularly Pseudomonas and Enterobacter spp., significantly promoted the growth and yield of maize compared with the non-inoculated control. Pseudomonas fluorescens increased plant height, biomass, cob yield, grain yield, 1000 grain mass, and straw yield of maize up to 29%, 127%, 67%, 60%, 17%, and 166%, respectively, over the control. Under stress conditions, more N, P, and K uptake and high K+–Na+ ratios were recorded in inoculated plants compared with the control. The results imply that inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria containing ACC-deaminase could be a useful approach for improving growth and yield of maize under salt-stressed conditions.
