Abstract Background The use of bioinoculants based on plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) to promote plant growth under biotic and abiotic stresses is in full expansion. To our knowledge much work has not been, thus far, done on seed-biopriming of durum wheat for tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present work, we report detailed account of the effectiveness a potent bacterial strain with proven plant growth-promoting ability and antimicrobial activity. The isolate was selected following screening of several bacterial strains isolated from halophytes that grow in a coastal saline soil in Tunisia for their role in enhancing durum wheat tolerance to both salinity stress and head blight disease.Results Accordingly, Bacillus strains MA9, MA14, MA17 and MA19 were found to have PGPB characteristics as they produced indole-3-acetic acid, siderophores and lytic enzymes, fixed free atmospheric nitrogen, and solubilized inorganic phosphate, in vitro . The in vivo study that involved in planta inoculation assays under control (25 mM NaCl) and stress (125 mM NaCl) conditions indicated that all PGPB strains significantly ( P < 0.05) increased the total plant length, dry weight, root area, seed weight, nitrogen, protein and total mineral content. On the other hand, strain MA17 reduced Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) disease incidence in wheat explants by 64.5%, showing that the strain has antifungal activity as was also displayed by in vitro inhibition study.Conclusions Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that MA9, MA14 MA9, MA14, MA17 and MA19 strains were able to play the PGPB role. Yet, biopriming with Bacillus strain MA17 offered the highest bioprotection against FHB, plant growth promotion, and salinity tolerance. Hence, the MA17 strain should further be evaluated under field condition and formulated for commercial production. Besides, the strain could further be evaluated for its potential role in bioprotection and growth promotion of other crop plants. We believe, the strain has potential to significantly contribute to wheat production in the arid and semi-arid region, especially the salt affected Middle Eastern Region, besides its potential role in improving wheat production under biotic and abiotic stresses in other parts of the world.

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.

Colonization of a biofertilizer Bacillus sp. OYK strain, which was isolated from a soil, was compared with three rhizospheric and endophytic Bacillus sp. strains to evaluate the colonization potential of the Bacillus sp. strains with a different origin. Surface-sterilized seeds of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Chika) were sown in the sterilized vermiculite, and four Bacillus sp. strains were each inoculated onto the seed zone. After cultivation in a phytotron, plant growth parameters and populations of the inoculants in the root, shoot, and rhizosphere were determined. In addition, effects of co-inoculation and time interval inoculation of Bacillus sp. F-33 with the other endophytes were examined. All Bacillus sp. strains promoted plant growth except for Bacillus sp. RF-37, and populations of the rhizospheric and endophytic Bacillus sp. strains were 1.4–2.8 orders higher in the tomato plant than that of Bacillus sp. OYK. The plant growth promotion by Bacillus sp. F-33 was reduced by co-inoculation with the other endophytic strains: Klebsiella sp. Sal 1, Enterobacter sp. Sal 3, and Herbaspirillum sp. Sal 6., though the population of Bacillus sp. F-33 maintained or slightly decreased. When Klebsiella sp. Sal 1 was inoculated after Bacillus sp. F-33, the plant growth-promoting effects by Bacillus sp. F-33 were reduced without a reduction of its population, while when Bacillus sp. F-33 was inoculated after Klebsiella sp. Sal 1, the effects were increased in spite of the reduction of its population. Klebsiella sp. Sal 1 colonized dominantly under both conditions. The higher population of rhizospheric and endophytic Bacillus sp. in the plant suggests the importance of the origin of the strains for their colonization. The plant growth promotion and colonization potentials were independently affected by the co-existing microorganisms.
