Combatting glufosinate-induced pepper toxicity: jasmonic acid recruiting rhizosphere bacterial strain Rhodococcus gordoniae.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant-microbe interactions are essential for mitigating abiotic and biotic stressors by shaping the rhizosphere environment. However, how rhizosphere beneficial bacteria and plant metabolites respond to glufosinate (GLU)-induced toxicity remains largely unknown.

Results

Our study investigates the impact of GLU on chili plant growth and rhizosphere microbiome, emphasizing GLU-induced alterations in amino acid profiles, secondary metabolites, and microbial community composition, with notable enrichment of the Rhodococcus genus. To uncover the underlying mechanisms of Rhodococcus genus-root exudate interactions under GLU stress, we successfully isolated an efficient Rhodococcus gordoniae strain TR-5 from soil samples contaminated with GLU. This strain, isolated from
