Biocontrol and plant growth-promoting activity of rhizobacteria from Chinese fields with contaminated soils.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to inventory the types of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) present in the rhizosphere of plants grown in soils contaminated with heavy metals, recalcitrant organics, petroleum sewage or salinity in China. We screened 1223 isolates for antifungal activity and about 24% inhibited Rhizoctonia solani or Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Twenty-four strains inhibitory to R.?solani, Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici and/or S.?sclerotiorum and representing the dominant morphotypes were assayed for PGPR activity. Seven strains contained phlD, prnD, pltC or phzF genes and produced the antibiotics 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, pyrrolnitrin, pyoluteorin and phenazines respectively. Six strains contained acdS, which encodes 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA and phlD, phzF and acdS genes demonstrated that some strains identified as Pseudomonas were similar to model PGPR strains Pseudomonas protegens?Pf-5, Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aureofaciens 30-84 and P.?brassicacearum?Q8r1-96. Pseudomonas protegens- and P.?chlororaphis-like strains had the greatest biocontrol activity against Rhizoctonia root rot and take-all of wheat. Pseudomonas protegens and P.?brassicacearum-like strains showed the greatest promotion of canola growth. Our results indicate that strains from contaminated soils are similar to well-described PGPR found in agricultural soils worldwide.

Project description:Combined stressors (high soil salinity and saline water irrigation) severely reduce plant growth and sugar beet yield. Seed inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and/or foliar spraying with silica nanoparticles (Si-NP) is deemed one of the most promising new strategies that have the potential to inhibit abiotic stress. Herein, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) plants were treated with two PGPR (Pseudomonas koreensis MG209738 and Bacillus coagulans NCAIM B.01123) and/or Si-NP, during two successive seasons 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 to examine the vital role of PGPR, Si-NP, and their combination in improving growth characteristics, and production in sugar beet plants exposed to two watering treatments (fresh water and saline water) in salt-affected soil. The results revealed that combined stressors (high soil salinity and saline water irrigation) increased ion imbalance (K+/Na+ ratio; from 1.54 ± 0.11 to 1.00 ± 0.15) and declined the relative water content (RWC; from 86.76 ± 4.70 to 74.30 ± 3.20%), relative membrane stability index (RMSI), stomatal conductance (gs), and chlorophyll content, which negatively affected on the crop productivity. Nevertheless, the application of combined PGPR and Si-NP decreased oxidative stress indicators (hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation) and sodium ions while increasing activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD; up to 1.9-folds), catalase (CAT; up to 1.4-folds), and peroxidase (POX; up to 2.5-folds) enzymes, and potassium ions resulting in physiological processes, root yield, and sugar yield compared to non-treated controls under combined stressors (high soil salinity and saline water irrigation). It is worth mentioning that the singular application of PGPR improved root length, diameter, and yield greater than Si-NP alone and it was comparable to the combined treatment (PGPR+Si-NP). It was concluded that the combined application of PGPR and Si-NP has valuable impacts on the growth and yield of sugar beet growing under combined stressors of high soil salinity and saline water irrigation.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome analysis in response to plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) Experiment 1 : Changes in gene expression profile triggered during root architecture response to Phyllobacterium. Biological question : Which genes are up- or down-regulated in Arabidopsis thaliana cultivated in vitro with increased lateral root development in response to Phyllobacterium STM196 inoculation. Experiment description: Seeds of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia) were surface-sterilized and sown on agar mineral medium (see below). 4 days after storage in the dark at 4C, seedling were cultivated 6 days in a growth chamber (16 h daily, 20-22C) and then transferred on a fresh agar mineral medium inoculated or not with Phyllobacterium STM196 (2.108 cfu/ml). 6 days later, root and leaves were collected, froze on liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C. Experiment 2 : Changes in gene expression profile triggered during induced systemic resistance (ISR) Biological question : Which genes are up- or down-regulated during the ISR triggered by a rhizobacteria, in comparison with those affected by a pathogenic interaction. Experiment description: Seeds were sown on 0.8% (W/V) agar mineral medium (see below). 4 days after storage in the dark at 4C, seedling were cultivated 6 days in a growth chamber (16 h daily, 20-22C) and then transferred on soil inoculated or not with 107 cfu.g-1 of Bradyrhizobium strain ORS278. Three weeks later, 3 leaves per plant were infiltrated with a suspension of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (2.105 cfu.ml-1) or with MgSO4 10 mM alone for control plants. Infiltrated leaves were collected 24h later. Experiment 3 : Comparison of the effects of 3 rhizobacteria on Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome Biological question : which genes are specifically induced or repressed in Arabidopsis thaliana by inoculation of the soil with a PGPR vs a bacteria that has the ability to trigger nodule formation in a Legume. Experiment description: Seeds of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia) were surface-sterilized and sown on agar mineral medium. Four days after storage in the dark at 4C, seedlings were cultivated 6 days in a growth chamber (16 h daily, 20-22C) and then transferred on soil inoculated or not with 108 cfu.g-1 of Mesorhizobium loti, or 108 cfu.g-1 of Phyllobacterium STM196, or 107 cfu.g-1 of Bradyrhizobium ORS278.
