Diversity and characteristics of plant immunity-activating bacteria from Brassicaceae plants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Microorganisms that activate plant immune responses are useful for application as biocontrol agents in agriculture to minimize crop losses. The present study was conducted to identify and characterize plant immunity-activating microorganisms in Brassicaceae plants.

Results

A total of 25 bacterial strains were isolated from the interior of a Brassicaceae plant, Raphanus sativus var. hortensis. Ten different genera of bacteria were identified: Pseudomonas, Leclercia, Enterobacter, Xanthomonas, Rhizobium, Agrobacterium, Pantoea, Rhodococcus, Microbacterium, and Plantibacter. The isolated strains were analyzed using a method to detect plant immunity-activating microorganisms that involves incubation of the microorganism with tobacco BY-2 cells, followed by treatment w
