Plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Pseudomonas PS01 induces salt tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may contribute to sustainable crop production by improving plant growth and/or plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. Soil salinity, which limits the productivity of crop plants, is one of the major concerns of modern agriculture, especially in countries heavily affected by climate change as Vietnam. Currently, only a few reports have studied local PGPR isolated in Vietnam, particular Pseudomonas. Therefore, our study aimed to isolate and identify a region-specific Pseudomonas strain and evaluate the effects of this strain on germination, growth promotion and gene expression of Arabidopsis thaliana under salt stress.

Results

The Pseudomonas named PS01 was isolated from maize rhizosphere collected in Ben Tre province, Vietn
