Application of Bacillus velezensis NJAU-Z9 Enhanced Plant Growth Associated with Efficient Rhizospheric Colonization Monitored by qPCR with Primers Designed from the Whole Genome Sequence.

ABSTRACT: Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been reported to influence plant growth, yield, and nutrient uptake by an array of mechanisms. Uncovering the behavioral dynamics of PGPR is one of the most important issues necessary for understanding their functional performances. In this study, strain NJAU-Z9 which was found to possess complex functions and efficient rhizospheric colonization ability was selected from plenty of bacterial strains isolated randomly from the pepper rhizosphere soil and identified as Bacillus velezensis. Repeated seedling nursing tests performed absolute growth-promoting advantage for the novel isolated strain. After that, primers for the quantitative detection were designed based on its whole genome sequence (WGS), and a real-time PCR method was utilized to
