Genome-Wide Insights into <i>Streptomyces</i> Novel Species Qhu-G9 and Its Potential for Enhancing Salt Tolerance and Growth in <i>Avena sativa</i> L. and <i>Onobrychis viciifolia</i> Scop.

ABSTRACT: With the increasing severity of global climate change and soil salinization, the development of microorganisms that enhance crop salt tolerance has become a critical focus of agricultural research. In this study, we explored the potential of a novel Streptomyces species Qhu-G9 as a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) under salt stress conditions, employing whole-genome sequencing and functional annotation. The genomic analysis revealed that Qhu-G9 harbors various genes related to plant growth promotion, including those involved in phosphate solubilization, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) biosynthesis, antioxidant activity, and nitrogen fixation. A total of 8528 coding genes were annotated in Qhu-G9, with a significant proportion related to cell metabolism, catalytic activity, an
