Abstract
Deciphering the intricate relationships between microorganisms and plants remains a formidable challenge in plant microbial ecology, an area that holds promise for optimizing microbial interventions to enhance stress resilience and agricultural yields. In our investigation, we procured samples during 2019 and 2022 from a suburban agricultural greenhouse. Our study delineated the composition of bacterial and fungal communities across various ecological niches-namely, the rhizosphere soil, bulk soil, and phyllosphere of healthy, Ralstonia solanacearum-infected, and dead eggplants and tomatoes. The structure and composition of both fungal and bacterial communities change significantly under the influence of the host genotype across all samples. In the tomato or eggplant groups, bacterial wilt exerts a more pronounced impact on the bacterial community than on the fungal community. We speculate that the rhizosphere of healthy eggplants and tomatoes harbored more antibiotic-producing (e.g., Amycolatopsis and Penicillium) and biocontrol (e.g., Bacillus) strains, which can lead to have lower absolute abundance of R. solanacearum. In the context of R. solanacearum invasion, deterministic processes were responsible for shaping 70.67 % and 80.63 % of the bacterial community assembly in the rhizosphere of eggplants and tomatoes, respectively. Deterministic processes dominated the assembly of fungal communities in the rhizosphere of R. solanacearum-infected eggplants, whereas the opposite was true in the tomatoes. Homogeneous selection emerged as the predominant force governing the bacterial community assembly in the rhizospheres of R. solanacearum-infected eggplants and tomatoes. The bacterial co-occurrence networks in healthy rhizosphere soil were characterized by reduced vulnerability and enhanced stability (i.e., robustness index) and complexity (i.e., cohesion index), compared to their infected counterparts. In summary, complex microbial networks in rhizosphere soils are more resistant to invasion by soil-borne pathogens. The dynamics of bacterial interactions and community assembly processes are pivotal for effective microbiome management and offer predictive insights into the ecological ramifications of R. solanacearum invasions.

Plant growth promoting activities of Pseudomonas sp. and Enterobacter sp. isolated from the rhizosphere of Vachellia gummifera in Morocco. FEMS Microbiol Ecol 2023; 99:fiad114.

Abstract
The Moroccan endemic Vachellia gummifera grows wild under extreme desert conditions. This plant could be used as an alternative fodder for goats, and camels, in order to protect the Argan forests against overgrazing in Central and Southwestern Moroccan semiarid areas. With the aim to improve the V. gummifera population's density in semiarid areas, we proposed its inoculation with performing plant growth-promoting bacteria. Hence, 500 bacteria were isolated from the plant rhizosphere. From these, 291 isolates were retained for plant growth-promoting (PGP) activities assessment. A total of 44 isolates showed the best phosphates solubilization potential, as well as siderophore and auxin production. The combination of REP-PCR (repetitive extragenic palindromic-polymerase chain reaction) fingerprinting, PGP activities, and phenotypic properties, allowed the selection of three strains for the inoculation experiments. The three selected strains' 16S rRNA sequencing showed that they are members of the Enterobacter and Pseudomonas genera. The inoculation with three strains had diverse effects on V. gummifera growth parameters. All single and combined inoculations improved the plant shoot weight by more than 200%, and the root length by up to 139%, while some combinations further improved protein and chlorophyll content, thereby improving the plant's forage value. The three selected strains constitute an effective inoculum for use in the arid and semiarid zones of southern Morocco.

Abstract
Beneficial endophytic bacteria influence their host plant to grow and resist pathogens. Despite the advantages of endophytic bacteria to their host, their application in agriculture has been low. Furthermore, many plant growers improperly use synthetic chemicals due to having no or little knowledge of the role of endophytic bacteria in plant growth, the prevention and control of pathogens and poor access to endobacterial bioproducts. These synthetic chemicals have caused soil infertility, environmental contamination, disruption to ecological cycles and the emergence of resistant pests and pathogens. There is more that needs to be done to explore alternative ways of achieving sustainable plant production while maintaining environmental health. In recent years, the use of beneficial endophytic bacteria has been noted to be a promising tool in promoting plant growth and the biocontrol of pathogens. Therefore, this review discusses the roles of endophytic bacteria in plant growth and the biocontrol of plant pathogens. Several mechanisms that endophytic bacteria use to alleviate plant biotic and abiotic stresses by helping their host plants acquire nutrients, enhance plant growth and development and suppress pathogens are explained. The review also indicates that there is a gap between research and general field applications of endophytic bacteria and suggests a need for collaborative efforts between growers at all levels. Furthermore, the presence of scientific and regulatory frameworks that promote advanced biotechnological tools and bioinoculants represents major opportunities in the applications of endophytic bacteria. The review provides a basis for future research in areas related to understanding the interactions between plants and beneficial endophytic microorganisms, especially bacteria.

Abstract
Over the past decades, rapid industrialization along with the overutilization of organic pollutants/pesticides has altered the environmental circumstances. Moreover, various anthropogenic, xenobiotics and natural activities also affected plants, soil, and human health, in both direct and indirect ways. To counter this, several conventional methods are currently practiced, but are uneconomical, noxious, and is yet inefficient for large-scale application. Plant-microbe interactions are mediated naturally in an ecosystem and are practiced in several areas. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) possess certain attributes affecting plant and soil consequently performing decontamination activity via a direct and indirect mechanism. PGPR also harbors indispensable genes stimulating the mineralization of several organic and inorganic compounds. This makes microbes potential candidates for contributing to sustainably remediating the harmful pesticide contaminants. There is a limited piece of information about the plant-microbe interaction pertaining predict and understand the overall interaction concerning a sustainable environment. Therefore, this review focuses on the plant-microbe interaction in the rhizosphere and inside the plant's tissues, along with the utilization augmenting the crop productivity, reduction in plant stress along with decontamination of pesticides/organic pollutants in soil for sustainable environmental management.

Abstract
The rhizosphere is a narrow and dynamic region of plant root-soil interfaces, and it's considered one of the most intricate and functionally active ecosystems on the Earth, which boosts plant health and alleviates the impact of biotic and abiotic stresses. Improving the key functions of the microbiome via engineering the rhizosphere microbiome is an emerging tool for improving plant growth, resilience, and soil-borne diseases. Recently, the advent of omics tools, gene-editing techniques, and sequencing technology has allowed us to unravel the entangled webs of plant-microbes interactions, enhancing plant fitness and tolerance to biotic and abiotic challenges. Plants secrete signaling compounds with low molecular weight into the rhizosphere, that engage various species to generate a massive deep complex array. The underlying principle governing the multitrophic interactions of the rhizosphere microbiome is yet unknown, however, some efforts have been made for disease management and agricultural sustainability. This review discussed the intra- and inter- microbe-microbe and microbe-animal interactions and their multifunctional roles in rhizosphere microbiome engineering for plant health and soil-borne disease management. Simultaneously, it investigates the significant impact of immunity utilizing PGPR and cover crop strategy in increasing rhizosphere microbiome functions for plant development and protection using omics techniques. The ecological engineering of rhizosphere plant interactions could be used as a potential alternative technology for plant growth improvement, sustainable disease control management, and increased production of economically significant crops.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) have received considerable attention in the field of agrochemicals due to their special properties, such as small particle size, surface structure, solubility and chemical composition. The application of NMs and nanotechnology in agrochemicals dramatically overcomes the defects of conventional agrochemicals, including low bioavailability, easy photolysis, and organic solvent pollution, etc. In this review, we describe advances in the application of NMs in chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which are the two earliest and most researched areas of NMs in agrochemicals. Besides, this article concerns with the new applications of NMs in other agrochemicals, such as bio-pesticides, nucleic acid pesticides, plant growth regulators (PGRs), and pheromone. We also discuss challenges and the industrialization trend of NMs in the field of agrochemicals. Constructing nano-agrochemical delivery system via NMs and nanotechnology facilitates the improvement of the stability and dispersion of active ingredients, promotes the precise delivery of agrochemicals, reduces residual pollution and decreases labor cost in different application scenarios, which is potential to maintain the sustainability of agricultural systems and improve food security by increasing the efficacy of agricultural inputs. ![]()

Abstract
Heterotrophic protists play a crucial role in plant growth promotion via nutrient cycling and shift in microbial community composition in the soil ecosystem. Selective predation pressure by protists contributes to the evaluation of plant beneficial traits in rhizospheric bacteria. However, not always all plant growth-promoting bacterial (PGPB) strains are benefitted by predation. This study aimed to examine the predatory effect of Acanthamoeba sp genotype T4 on a range of PGPB strains and their combined impact on early rice seedling growth. Acanthamoeba sp isolated from rice rhizosphere soils were used to assess predation against several PGPB such as Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Morganella, Stenotrophomonas, Providencia, and Lysinibacillus on Nutrient Yeast Extract agar (NYE) plate. The controlled experiment on the germinated rice seeds (Oryza sativa L.) grown in Petri dishes containing each PGPB strain and Acanthamoeba sp was performed to evaluate the combined impact on plant performance. The PGPB-Acanthamoeba combined treatments in Petri dishes showed significant rice seedling growth compared to PGPB alone, non-PGPB and control. Our results indicated the positive but different impact of Acanthamoeba sp with different PGPB species on early rice plant growth. Further in-depth research should be carried out with diverse protists and PGPB species to assess which protist species can be linked to enhancement of indigenous soil PGPB for improved plant growth.

Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26051394. [PMID: 33807585 PMCID: PMC7961968 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26051394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), colorimetry, and bioassays were employed for the evaluation of the ability of endophytic bacterial strains to synthesize indole-related compounds (IRCs) and in particular indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). A total of 54 endophytic strains belonging to seven bacterial genera isolated from tissues of common and spelt wheat cultivars were studied. The endophytic bacteria isolated from different tissues of the tested wheat types were capable of IRCs production, including IAA, which constituted from 1.75% to 52.68% of all IRCs, in in vitro conditions via the tryptophan dependent pathway. The selected post-culture medium was also examined using a plant bioassay. Substantial growth of wheat coleoptile segments treated with the bacterial post-culture medium was observed in several cases. Our data suggest that the studied endophytic bacteria produce auxin-type compounds to support plant development. Summarizing, our approach to use three complementary methods for estimation of IRCs in different endophytic strains provides a comprehensive picture of their effect on wheat growth.

Abstract
The rhizosphere is undoubtedly the most complex microhabitat, comprised of an integrated network of plant roots, soil, and a diverse consortium of bacteria, fungi, eukaryotes, and archaea. The rhizosphere conditions have a direct impact on crop growth and yield. Nutrient-rich rhizosphere environments stimulate plant growth and yield and vice versa. Extensive cultivation exhaust most of the soils which need to be nurtured before or during the next crop. Chemical fertilizers are the major source of crop nutrients but their uncontrolled and widespread usage has posed a serious threat to the sustainability of agriculture and stability of an ecosystem. These chemicals are accumulated in the soil, drained in water, and emitted to the air where they persist for decades causing a serious threat to the overall ecosystem. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) present in the rhizosphere convert many plant-unavailable essential nutrients e.g., nitrogen, phosphorous, zinc, etc. into available forms. PGPR produces certain plant growth hormones (such as auxin, cytokinin, and gibberellin), cell lytic enzymes (chitinase, protease, hydrolases, etc.), secondary metabolites, and antibiotics, and stress alleviating compounds (e.g., 1-Aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylate deaminase), chelating agents (siderophores), and some signaling compounds (e.g., N-Acyl homoserine lactones) to interact with the beneficial or pathogenic counterparts in the rhizosphere. These multifarious activities of PGPR improve the soil structure, health, fertility, and functioning which directly or indirectly support plant growth under normal and stressed environments. Rhizosphere engineering with these PGPR has a wide-ranging application not only for crop fertilization but developing eco-friendly sustainable agriculture. Due to severe climate change effects on plants and rhizosphere biology, there is growing interest in stress-resilient PGPM and their subsequent application to induce stress (drought, salinity, and heat) tolerance mechanism in plants. This review describes the three components of rhizosphere engineering with an explicit focus on the broader perspective of PGPM that could facilitate rhizosphere engineering in selected hosts to serve as an efficient component for sustainable agriculture.

Transcriptome Profiles Reveal the Growth-Promoting Mechanisms of Paenibacillus polymyxa YC0136 on Tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.). Front Microbiol 2020; 11:584174. [PMID: 33101258 PMCID: PMC7546199 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.584174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Paenibacillus polymyxa is an important member of the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. P. polymyxa YC0136 inoculation had beneficial effect on growth promotion and biological control of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) under field conditions. This study aimed to reveal the growth-promoting mechanisms of strain YC0136. In growth-promotion assays, tobacco plant height was increased by 8.42% and 8.25% at 60 and 90 days, respectively, after inoculation with strain YC0136. Strain YC0136 also promoted the accumulation of tobacco biomass in varying degrees. Following inoculation with strain YC0136, 3,525 and 4,368 tobacco genes were up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively. Strain YC0136 induced the expression of plant hormone-related genes in tobacco, including auxin, cytokinin, and gibberellin, as well as transcription factors related to stress resistance such as WRKY and MYB. In addition, strain YC0136 induced the up-regulation of genes in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway by 1.51-4.59 times. Interaction with tobacco also induced gene expression changes in strain YC0136, with 286 and 223 genes up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively. Tobacco interaction induced up-regulation of the ilvB gene related to auxin biosynthesis in strain YC0136 by 1.72 times and induced expression of some nutrient transport genes. This study contributes to our understanding of the growth-promoting mechanisms of strain YC0136 on tobacco and provides a theoretical basis for the application of P. polymyxa YC0136 as a biological fertilizer.
