Effects of rice blast biocontrol strain Pseudomonas alcaliphila Ej2 on the endophytic microbiome and proteome of rice under salt stress.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Soil salinity is a prevalent environmental stress in agricultural production. Microbial inoculants could effectively help plants to alleviate salt stress. However, there is little knowledge of the biocontrol strain Pseudomonas alcaliphila Ej2 mechanisms aiding rice plants to reduce the adverse effects caused by salt stress.

Methods

We performed integrated field and greenhouse experiments, microbial community profiling, and rice proteomic analysis to systematically investigate the Ej2 mechanism of action.

Results

The results displayed that biocontrol strain Ej2 increased shoot/root length and fresh/dry weight compared with control under salt stress. Meanwhile, strain Ej2 has the ability to control rice blast disease and promote rice growth. Furtherm
