Foliar Treatment of Bacillus Methylotrophicus KE2 Reprograms Endogenous Functional Chemicals in Sesame to Improve Plant Health.

ABSTRACT: The present study was aimed to investigate the health of vegetative and reproductive parts of sesame plants during Bacillus methylotrophicus KE2 interaction by their pigments, sugars, organic acid, amino acids, hormones and antioxidant production analysis. In a green-house study, B. methylotrophicus KE2 was sprayed to sesame plants at late flowering stage. The bacterial treatment enhanced photosynthetic pigments of plants including pods than their controls. The shoots of plants had higher amount of sucrose, glucose, galactose, xylitol and malic acid, and while the pods of plants showed the more accumulation of sucrose, glucose, inulin and xylitol in bacterium treated plants. However, alanine, cysteine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, arginine and proline
