Bacterial Strains from Saline Environment Modulate the Expression of Saline Stress-Responsive Genes in Pepper (Capsicum annuum).

ABSTRACT: Salinity stress is one of the most important problems in crop productivity. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can also confer stress tolerance in plants under saline soil conditions. In a previous work, it was reported that bacteria strains isolated from hypersaline sites mitigated salt stress in chili pepper (Capsicum annuum var. Caballero) plants and promoted plant growth in some cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the modulation of gene expression in C. annuum plants by bacteria strains isolated from saline environments. Two bacteria strains from high salinity ponds in Guerrero Negro, BCS, Mexico (Bacillus sp. strain 32 and Staphylococcus sp. strain 155) and Azospirillum brasilense Cd (DSM 1843) were used.
