Impact of the tripartite interaction between rice, sheath blight and diverse crop-associated endophytes on phenotypic and biochemical responses in rice.

ABSTRACT: Endophytes stimulate plant growth and inhibit phytopathogens. Most of the known endophytes are host-specific and only a few strains are effective for practical field use. Thus, this study focuses on the evaluation of endophytes viz., Bacillus pseudomycoides strain HP3d, Paenibacillus polymyxa strain PGSS1, B. velezensis strain A6 and P42 isolated from diverse crop ecosystems for their potential to promote plant growth and induce systemic resistance against sheath blight disease in rice. The endophytes were studied for plant growth promoting traits in vivo conditions and were found to exhibit ammonia (light to strong), siderophore (yellow zone on the CAS agar plate), indole-3-acetic acid (15.20-22.19 μg mL^-1) production and phosphorus solubiliza
