A plant endophytic bacterium Burkholderia seminalis strain 869T2 increases plant growth under salt stress by affecting several phytohormone response pathways.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to global warming and gradual climate change, plants are subjected to a wide range of environmental stresses, adversely affecting plant growth and production worldwide. Plants have developed various mechanisms to overpower these abiotic stresses, including salt stress, drought, and high light intensity. Apart from their own defense strategies, plants can get help from the beneficial endophytic bacteria inside host plants and assist them in enduring severe growth conditions. A previously isolated plant endophytic bacteria, Burkholderia seminalis 869T2, from vetiver grass can produce auxin, synthesize siderophore, and solubilize phosphate. The B. seminalis 869T2 can colonize inside host plants and increase the growth of bananas, Arabidopsis, and several leafy vegetable
