盐胁迫对4种短命植物种子萌发及植株生长的影响

以新疆北部4种十字花科短命植物为材料,研究不同浓度NaCl胁迫下其种子萌发及植株生长特性,以明确它们的耐盐性强弱。结果显示:(1)随着NaCl浓度的增加,4种植物种子萌发率、萌发指数和相对萌发率均不同程度下降,而相对盐害率则逐渐升高,并以绵果荠的耐盐性最好,其在300 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下仍有22.22%的萌发率。(2)4种植物的生长在50~150 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下没有受到明显抑制,在200 mmol.L-1浓度下受不同程度的抑制,而在300 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下抑制作用更严重,其中绵果荠在各浓度处理下长势均最好,能够在300 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下存活10 d。(3)在盐胁迫条件下,4种植物细胞质膜透性不同程度增加,而叶片相对含水量和光合色素含量均不同程度降低,并以绵果荠各项指标的变化幅度最小。可见,4种新疆短命植物种子萌发和植株生长均受到盐胁迫的伤害,但它们的耐盐阈值明显不同,并以绵果荠的耐盐性最强。     

Salt Stress Mitigating Potential of Halotolerant/Halophilic Plant Growth Promoting

Abstract

In the current study, the PGP (production of siderophore and IAA, fixation of nitrogen and solubilization of phosphate) potential of forty-five bacterial isolates comprising sixteen genera (Marinibacillus, Zhihengliuella, Bacillus, Nesterenkonia, Halobacillus, Promicromonospora, Terribacillus, Jeotgalibacillus, Staphylococcus, Oceanobacillus, Virgibacillus, Halomonas, Gracilibacillus, Planococcus, Thalassobacillus and Microbacterium) was investigated. Among these forty-five bacterial isolates, most of the isolates (40 isolates) possess plant growth promoting potential. Four bacterial isolates [Marinibacillus sp. (EM1), Zhihengliuella salsuginis (EM30), Planococcus sp. (EK9), and Promicromonospora sp. (EK12)] possessing PGP traits were applied on the barley grown under salt (NaCl) stress in a hydroponic system. Comparing to the un-inoculated group, all the four bacterial isolates significantly improved plant growth that inhibited with NaCl (200?mM) stress. The growth rate of the plants inoculated with Zhihengliuella salsuginis (EM30), Promicromonospora sp. (EK12), Planococcus sp. (EK9), and Marinibacillus sp. (EM1) was 81.86, 80.51, 70.62 and 69.22, respectively. As far as we know, this is the first report showing the PGP potential of Marinibacillus sp. (EM1), Bacillus horikoshii (EM9), Bacillus patagoniensis (EM12), Bacillus agaradhaerens (EK13), Oceanobacillus profundus (EM26) Thalassobacillus devorans (EM34) and Promicromonospora sp. (EK12).     

Rhizobacteria of Populus euphratica Promoting Plant Growth Against Heavy Metals

The heavy metal-resistant bacteria from rhizospheric soils of wild Populus euphratica forest growing in arid and saline area of northwestern China were investigated by cultivation-dependent methods. After screening on medium sparked with zinc, copper, nickel and lead, 146 bacteria strains with different morphology were isolated and most of them were found to be resistant to at least two kinds of heavy metals. Significant increase in fresh weight and leaf surface area of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings under metal stress were noticed after inoculated with strains especially those having multiple-resistance to heavy metals such as Phyllobacterium sp. strain C65. Investigation on relationship between auxin production and exogenous zinc concentration revealed that Phyllobacterium sp. strain C65 produced auxin, and production decreased as the concentration of zinc in medium increased. For wheat seedlings treated with zinc of 2 mM, zinc contents in roots of inoculated plants decreased by 27% (P < 0.05) compared to the uninoculated control. Meanwhile, zinc accumulation in the above-ground tissues increased by 22% (P < 0.05). The translocation of zinc from root to above-ground tissues induced by Phyllobacterium sp. strain C65 helped host plants extract zinc from contaminated environments more efficiently thus alleviated the growth inhibition caused by heavy metals.     

Variability in Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Mentha pulegium L. Essential Oil,Cultivated under Different Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria

The aim of present work was to study the essential oil chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of cultivated Mentha pulegium L. under different plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bradyrhizobium sp. and Sinorhizobium meliloti) individually and in consortium. Yield, in plants inoculated with Bradyrhizobium sp. and S. meliloti in consortium, increase significantly relative to control plants. GC and GC/MS analyses pointed to a qualitative and quantitative variability of components. The investigated essential oils were clustered into three chemotypes: piperitenone/1,8-cineol (40.9/29.4 %) chemotype in plants inoculated with Bradyrhizobium sp. individually, S. meliloti individually, and Bradyrhizobium sp. and S. meliloti in consortium, piperitone/menthone (41.8/33.8 %) chemotype in plants inoculated with P. fluorescens individually, P. fluorescens and Bradyrhizobium sp. in consortium, and P. fluorescens and S. meliloti in consortium and pulegone/menthol (47.9/31.5 %) chemotype in control plants. The antimicrobial activity, carried out by the disc diffusion method and the determination of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) against ten microorganisms, varied significantly according to the tested microorganism and the rhizobacterial species used individually or in consortium (inhibition zone: 8.5–33.5 mm; MIC: 0.25–2.5 μL/mL). Our findings provided useful indications to select interesting chemotype within M. pulegium, especially in perspective of its cultivation.     

Isolation,Identification, Biocontrol Activity,and Plant Growth Promoting Capability of a Superior Streptomyces tricolor Strain HM10

Streptomyces is a genus with known biocontrol activity, producing a broad range of biologically active substances. Our goal was to isolate local Streptomyces species, evaluate their capacity to biocontrol the selected phytopathogens, and promote the plant growth via siderophore and indole acetic acid (IAA) production and phosphate solubilization. Eleven isolates were obtained from local soil samples in Saudi Arabia via the standard serial dilution method and identified morphologically by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The biocontrol of phytopathogens was screened against known soil-borne fungi and bacteria. Plant growth promotion capacity was evaluated based on siderophore and IAA production and phosphate solubilization capacity. From eleven isolates obtained, one showed 99.77% homology with the type strain Streptomyces tricolor AS 4.1867, and was designated S. tricolor strain HM10. It showed aerial hyphae in SEM, growth inhibition of ten known phytopathogens in in vitro experiments, and the production of plant growth promoting compounds such as siderophores, IAA, and phosphate solubilization capacity. S. tricolor strain HM10 exhibited high antagonism against the fungi tested (i.e., Colletotrichum gloeosporides with an inhibition zone exceeding 18 mm), whereas the lowest antagonistic effect was against Alternaria solani (an inhibition zone equal to 8 mm). Furthermore, the most efficient siderophore production was recorded to strain HM8, followed by strain HM10 with 64 and 22.56 h/c (halo zone area/colony area), respectively. Concerning IAA production, Streptomyces strain HM10 was the most effective producer with a value of 273.02 μg/ml. An autochthonous strain S. tricolor HM10 should be an important biological agent to control phytopathogens and promote plant growth.     

Antifungal Potential of Plant Growth Promoting Bacillus Species Against Blossom Blight of Rose

Blossom blight caused by Botrytis cinerea is one among the most devastating diseases that cause complete post-harvest loss in flower crops. The present study focuses on the development of effective bioformulation towards suppression of blossom blight and plant growth promotion in rose. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (VB2) and Bacillus subtilis (AP) effectively inhibited mycelial growth of B. cinerea in vitro. Genome screening of VB2 and AP revealed the presence of antimicrobial peptide genes including, ituD, ipa14, bacA, bacD, srfA, sfP, spaC, spaS responsible for the biosynthesis of antibiotics such as iturin, bacilysin, bacillomycin, surfactin and subtilin. Further, the presence of volatile antifungal compounds in the bacterial secretome was identified through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. Upon treatment, AP accelerated the metabolite profile of the plants and a rise in peak area of antifungal compounds such as, pentadecanoic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) and tetradecanoic acid was observed. In vitro, VB2 produced maximum indole acetic acid (9.17 µg/ml) and gibberellic acid (8.20 µg/ml) in nutrient broth. Under field conditions, foliar spray of VB2 at 0.5% (5 ml/l), four times at weekly interval suppressed blossom blight incidence (64% reduction over control) and also promoted yield. Future research towards development of an effective bioformulation with extended shelf life will aid in the management of various fungal, bacterial and viral diseases in different crop plants.

     

Promotion of Plant Growth by Bacterial ACC Deaminase

To date, there has been only limited commercial use of plant growth-promoting bacteria in agriculture, horticulture, and silviculture. However, with recent progress toward understanding the mechanisms that these organisms utilize to facilitate plant growth, the use of plant growth-promoting bacteria is expected to continue to increase worldwide. One of the key mechanisms employed by plant growth-promoting bacteria to facilitate plant growth is the lowering of plant ethylene levels by the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. This article reviews the published work on this enzyme, with an emphasis on its biochemistry, protein structure, genes, and regulation. In addition, this article provides some initial insights into the changes in both plants and ACC deaminase-containing plant growth-promoting bacteria as a consequence of plant-microbe interactions. Finally, a brief discussion of how bacterial ACC deaminase and indoleacetic acid (IAA) together modulate plant growth and development is included.     

Screening Plant Species for Growth on Weathered,Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Sediments

Rapid and cost-effective techniques are needed to select plant species and genotypes for use in phytoremediation, vegetative capping, or revegetation at hazardous waste sites. A greenhouse screening procedure to aid the selection of plant materials would help increase success and decrease the cost. Twenty-nine vascular plant species were compared for growth in weathered sediments contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. An uncontaminated reference soil was used to estimate relative seedling growth in stressed and unstressed conditions. Plants were grown in a greenhouse and harvested at 60 and 180 days after planting to estimate variation in seedling growth and full-season growth. Plant growth characteristics measured included height, aboveground biomass, root biomass, root diameter, root-length density, and root surface area density. Concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) was estimated at the final harvest. Considerable variation existed among species for all characteristics except TPH concentration. Under the conditions and length of this trial, no variations in rates of TPH degradation were detected. In general, plant growth was stunted in the contaminated soil compared with the uncontaminated soil; however, differences among plant species for relative seedling growth indicated that they varied in their tolerance to the petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. For example, tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea, seemed tolerant to the contaminated soil, whereas barley, Hordeum vulgare, seemed sensitive. Comparison of results from the 60- and 180-day harvests suggested that a short-season greenhouse screening could aid selection of species for planting in contaminated soil, if plant growth results are interpreted along with information on the life history characteristics of the species under consideration.     

Copper-Resistant Bacteria Enhance Plant Growth and Copper Phytoextraction

In this study, we investigated the role of rhizospheric bacteria in solubilizing soil copper (Cu) and promoting plant growth. The Cu-resistant bacterium DGS6 was isolated from a natural Cu-contaminated soil and was identified as Pseudomonas sp. DGS6. This isolate solubilized Cu in Cu-contaminated soil and stimulated root elongation of maize and sunflower. Maize was more sensitive to inoculation with DGS6 than was sunflower and exhibited greater root elongation. In pot experiment, inoculation with DGS6 increased the shoot dry weight of maize by 49% and sunflower by 34%, and increased the root dry weight of maize by 85% and sunflower by 45%. Although the concentrations of Cu in inoculated and non-inoculated seedlings did not differ significantly, the total accumulation of Cu in the plants increased after inoculation. DGS6 showed a high ability to solubilize P and produce iron-chelating siderophores, as well as significantly improved the accumulation of P and Fe in both maize and sunflower shoots. In addition, DGS6 produced indole–3–acetic acid (IAA) and ACC deaminase, which suggests that it may modulate ethylene levels in plants. The bacterial strain DGS6 could be a good candidate for re-vegetation of Cu-contaminated sites.

Characterization of Bacteria in the Rhizosphere Soils of Polygonum Pubescens and Their Potential in Promoting Growth and Cd,Pb, Zn Uptake by Brassica napus

Microbe-enhanced phytoremediation has been considered as a promising measure for the remediation of metal-contaminated soils. In this study, two bacterial strains JYX7 and JYX10 were isolated from rhizosphere soils of Polygonum pubescens grown in metal-polluted soil and identified as of Enterobacter sp. and Klebsiella sp. based on 16S rDNA sequences, respectively. JYX7 and JYX10 showed high Cd, Pb and Zn tolerance and increased water-soluble Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations in culture solution and metal-added soils. Two isolates produced plant growth-promoting substances such as indole acetic acid, siderophore, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic deaminase, and solubilized inorganic phosphate. Based upon their ability in metal tolerance and solubilization, two isolates were further studied for their effects on growth and accumulation of Cd, Pb, and Zn in Brassica napus (rape) by pot experiments. Rapes inoculated with JYX7 and JYX10 had significantly higher dry weights, concentrations and uptakes of Cd, Pb, Zn in both above-ground and root tissues than those without inoculation grown in soils amended with Cd (25 mg kg^?1), Pb (200 mg kg^?1) or Zn (200 mg kg^?1). The present results demonstrated that JYX7 and JYX10 are valuable microorganism, which can improve the efficiency of phytoremediation in soils polluted by Cd, Pb, and Zn.

Biotoxic Effect of Chromium (VI) on Plant Growth-Promoting Traits of Novel Cellulosimicrobium funkei Strain AR8 Isolated from Phaseolus vulgaris Rhizosphere

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Cr(VI) on the plant growth-promoting traits of potential rhizobacterial strain isolated from Phaseolus vulgaris rhizosphere. A total of 36 rhizobacterial strains were recovered from the rhizosphere of P. vulgaris. Among these strains, the strain AR8 was specifically selected due to the highest resistance against heavy metals and the maximum production of plant growth-promoting substances. The rhizobacterial strain AR8 was identified as Cellulosimicrobium funkei (KM263188) following 16S rDNA gene sequencing. Strain AR8 solubilized phosphate and produced indole-3-acetic acid (32.57 µg/ml), exopolysaccharide (17.23 µg/ml), ammonia (54.16 µg/ml), catalase, biosurfactant, protease, amylase, and lipase. Under Cr(VI) stress, Cr(VI) concentration-dependent progressive decline in all plant growth-promoting traits of the C. funkei exposed was observed except for exopolysaccharide production, which consistently increased with increasing concentrations of Cr(VI). The root elongation assay resulted that the application of C. funkei strain AR8 significantly increased root length of test crops both in the presence and absence of Cr(VI) compared to uninoculated Cr(VI) treated plants. Moreover, AR8 generated a large number of colonies in diverse agricultural crops. Due to these intrinsic abilities, strain AR8 could be utilized for growth promotion as well as for the remediation of chromium in chromium-contaminated soil.

Potential of Mauritius Hemp (Furcraea gigantea Vent.) for the Remediation of Chromium Contaminated Soils

The present study was conducted to evaluate the ability of a high biomass producing, drought tolerant succulent plant Mauritius hemp (Furcraea gigantea Vent.) for its tolerance to different levels of Cr (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg Cr kg soil^?1) and its potential for phytoremediation purposes. Based on the data on inhibition of the growth of plants with Cr, tolerance index and grade of growth inhibition, it was observed that the plant could tolerate up to 50 mg Cr kg ^?1 soil. Absorption of Cr from soil to plant and its translocation into plant tissues were discussed in terms of bio concentration factor (BCF), transfer factor (TF), and translocation efficiency (TE%). Cr was mainly accumulated in the roots and exclusion of Cr was found to be the principal physiological tolerance mechanism followed by a marked increase in proline, ascorbic acid, total free amino acids in the leaf tissue and malic acid in the rhizosphere samples to counter Cr stress. Based on the tissue concentration of Cr (< 300 μg g^?1 in the leaves and TF<1), it was concluded that, Furcraea gigantea could not be considered a hyperaccumulator and therefore unsuitable for phytoextraction of Cr. Nevertheless, Furcraea gigantea could be a suitable candidate for phytostablization of Cr contaminated soils.     

Antagonistic Potential of Bacterial Species against Fungal Plant Pathogens (FPP) and Their Role in Plant Growth Promotion (PGP): A Review

Since the 19^th century to date, the fungal pathogens have been involved in causing devastating diseases in plants. All types of fungal pathogens have been observed in important agricultural crops that lead to significant pre and postharvest losses. The application of synthetic fungicide against the fungal plant pathogens (FPP) is a traditional management practice but at the same time these fungicides kill other beneficial microbes, insects, animal, and humans and are harmful to environment. The antagonistic microorganism such as bacteria are being used as an alternate strategy to control the FPP. These antagonistic species are cost-effective and eco-friendly in nature. These biocontrol bacteria have a broad mechanism against fungal pathogens present in the phyllosphere and rhizosphere of the plant. The antagonistic bacteria have different strategies against the FPP, by producing siderophore, biofilm, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), through parasitism, antibiosis, competition for limited resources and induce systemic resistance (ISR) in the host plant by activating the immune systems. The commercial bio-products synthesized by the major bacterial species Pseudomonas syringae, Burkholderia cepacia, Streptomyces griseoviridis, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis are used to control Fusarium, Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Penicillium, Alternaria, and Geotrichum. The commercial bio-formulations of bacteria act as both antifungal and plant growth regulators. The Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) played a significant role in improving plant health by nitrogen-fixing, phosphorus solubilization, phytohormones production, minimizing soil metal contamination, and by ACC deaminase antifungal activities. Different articles are available on the specific antifungal activity of bacteria in plant diseases. Therefore, this review article has summarized the information on biocontrol activity of bacteria against the FPP and the role of PGPR in plant growth promotion. This review also provided a complete picture of scattered information regarding antifungal activities of bacteria and the role of PGPR.
