Meta-analysis of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria interaction with host plants: implications for drought stress response gene expression.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The molecular and physiological mechanisms activated in plants during drought stress tolerance are regulated by several key genes with both metabolic and regulatory roles. Studies focusing on crop gene expression following plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation may help understand which bioinoculant is closely related to the induction of abiotic stress responses.

Methods

Here, we performed a meta-analysis following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to summarise information regarding plant-PGPR interactions, focusing on the regulation of nine genes involved in plant drought stress response. The literature research yielded 3,338 reports, of which only 41 were included in the meta-analysis based
