Indole-3-acetic-acid and ACC deaminase producing Leclercia adecarboxylata MO1 improves Solanum lycopersicum L. growth and salinity stress tolerance by endogenous secondary metabolites regulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The utilization of plant growth-promoting microbes is an environment friendly strategy to counteract stressful condition and encourage plants tolerance. In this regards, the current study was designed to isolate ACC deaminase and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) producing halotolerant bacteria to promote tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) growth and tolerance against salinity stress.

Results

The selected bacterial isolate MO1 was identified as Leclercia adecarboxylata and IAA quantification results revealed that MO1 produced significant amount of IAA (9.815 ± 0.6293 μg mL^- 1). The MO1 showed the presence of ACC (1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate) deaminase responsible acdS gene and tolerance against salinity stress. A plant microbe interaction experiment using
