Growth and protein response of rice plant with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria inoculations under salt stress conditions. Int Microbiol 2024:10.1007/s10123-023-00469-4. [PMID: 38172302 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-023-00469-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Soil salinity has been one of the significant barriers to improving rice production and quality. According to reports, Bacillus spp. can be utilized to boost plant development in saline soil, although the molecular mechanisms behind the interaction of microbes towards salt stress are not fully known. Variations in rice plant protein expression in response to salt stress and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculations were investigated using a proteomic method and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Findings revealed that 54 salt-responsive proteins were identified by mass spectrometry analysis (LC-MS/MS) with the Bacillus spp. interaction, and the proteins were functionally classified as gene ontology. The initial study showed that all proteins were labeled by mass spectrometry analysis (LC-MS/MS) with Bacillus spp. interaction; the proteins were functionally classified into six groups. Approximately 18 identified proteins (up-regulated, 13; down-regulated, 5) were involved in the photosynthetic process. An increase in the expression of eight up-regulated and two down-regulated proteins in protein synthesis known as chaperones, such as the 60 kDa chaperonin, the 70 kDa heat shock protein BIP, and calreticulin, was involved in rice plant stress tolerance. Several proteins involved in protein metabolism and signaling pathways also experienced significant changes in their expression. The results revealed that phytohormones regulated the manifestation of various chaperones and protein abundance and that protein synthesis played a significant role in regulating salt stress. This study also described how chaperones regulate rice salt stress, their different subcellular localizations, and the activity of chaperones.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:22050. [PMID: 38086854 PMCID: PMC10716397 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49304-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are a diverse group of microorganisms that enhance the growth of plants under various conditions. In this study, 55 isolates of endogenous rhizobacteria were collected from the rhizosphere of Avicennia marina, Suaeda vermiculata, Salsola soda, Anabasis setifera, Salicornia europaea, Arthrocnemum macrostachyum, Limonium axillare, Tetraena qatarensis, Aeluropus lagopoides, and Prosopis juliflora. The isolates were evaluated in-vitro for their antagonist potential against Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea using the dual culture technique, where the maximum growth inhibition reached 49% and 57%, respectively. In-vivo evaluation was accomplished to determine the growth-promoting potential of the rhizobacteria under greenhouse conditions where the strain ANABR3 (Bacillus subtilis) showed the strongest growth-promoting effects. Further in-vivo testing regarding the effectiveness of rhizobacteria in the presence of the phytopathogen was also completed using the Hoagland medium. LEMR3 and SALIR5 (both identified as two strains of B. subtilis) supported the tomato seedlings to overcome the disease and significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased above and belowground biomass compared to the control. Additionally, several characterizing tests were carried out on the selected strains, these strains were found to possess numerous features that promote plant growth directly and indirectly such as the production of IAA, HCN, hydrolytic enzymes, ACC deaminase, NH3, and some rhizobacteria were capable of phosphate solubilization. In conclusion, this study showed that local rhizobacterial isolates collected from arid lands possess valuable traits, making them promising bio-control agents and bio-fertilizers for agricultural purposes.

Abstract
To explore the causal pathogen and the correlated rhizosphere soil microecology of sugarcane root rot, we sampled the sugarcane root materials displaying different disease severity, and the corresponding rhizosphere soil, for systematic root phenotype and microbial population analyses. We found that with increased level of disease severity reflected by above-ground parts of sugarcane, the total root length, total root surface area and total volume were significantly reduced, accompanied with changes in the microbial population diversity and structure in rhizosphere soil. Fungal community richness was significantly lower in the rhizosphere soil samples from mildly diseased plant than that from either healthy plant, or severely diseased plant. Particularly, we noticed that a peculiar decrease of potential pathogenic fungi in rhizosphere soil, including genera Fusarium, Talaromyces and Neocosmospora, with increased level of disease severity. As for bacterial community, Firmicutes was found to be of the highest level, while Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi of the lowest level, in rhizosphere soil from healthy plant compared to that from diseased plant of different severity. FUNGuild prediction showed that the proportion of saprophytic fungi was higher in the rhizosphere soil of healthy plants, while the proportion of pathogenic fungi was higher in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. By co-occurrence network analysis we demonstrated the Bacillus and Burkholderia were in a strong interaction with Fusarium pathogen(s). Consistently, the biocontrol and/or growth-promoting bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere soil were mostly (6 out of 7) belonging to Bacillus and Burkholderia species. By confrontation culture and pot experiments, we verified the biocontrol and/or growth-promoting property of the isolated bacterial strains. Overall, we demonstrated a clear correlation between sugarcane root rot severity and rhizosphere soil microbiome composition and function, and identified several promising biocontrol bacteria strains with strong disease suppression effect and growth-promoting properties.

Abstract
Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, Duch.) is an important crop worldwide. However, since it is a highly demanding crop in terms of the chemical conditions of the substrate, a large part of strawberry production implies the application of large amounts of fertilizers in the production fields. This practice can cause environmental problems, in addition to increases in the fruit's production costs. In this context, applying plant growth-promoting bacteria in production fields can be an essential strategy, especially thanks to their ability to stimulate plant growth via different mechanisms. Therefore, this study aimed to test in vitro and in vivo the potential of bacteria isolated from strawberry leaves and roots to directly promote plant growth. The isolates were tested in vitro for their ability to produce auxins, solubilize phosphate and fix nitrogen. Isolates selected in vitro were tested on strawberry plants to promote plant growth and increase the accumulation of nitrogen and phosphorus in the leaves. The tested isolates showed an effect on plant growth according to biometric parameters. Among the tested isolates, more expressive results for the studied variables were observed with the inoculation of the isolate MET12M2, belonging to the species Brevibacillus fluminis. In general, bacterial inoculation induced strain-dependent effects on strawberry growth. In vitro and in vivo assays showed the potential use of the B. fluminis MET12M2 isolate as a growth promoter for strawberries.

Abstract
Due to the globalization and increasing human activities, there is a significant increase in bacterial invasions to the soil ecosystems. Soil resident communities are vulnerable to bacterial invasion and suffered legacy effects after unsuccessful invasion. However, whether such changes in the soil ecosystems are permanent or temporary remains unclear. Here, we investigated the functional resilience of soil ecosystems to bacterial invasion and intensive managements. We used Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli) as model strain examined the soil microbial metabolic functions, including enzyme activities, nitrogen and carbon use efficiency, community niche, and carbon metabolic potential, as well as soil physicochemical properties and microbial invader survival in 8 soil samples, 4 from natural hardwood forests and 4 from intensively managed Moso bamboo forests. The results showed that soil ecosystems were not resistant to E. coli invasion regardless of the intensity of management, which the finding was significantly reflected in the nutrient-acquiring activities or carbon utilization, or both. Besides, the invasion legacy effect (the effect after invader apoptosis) was positively related to E. coli survival time. However, most of the metabolic functions could recover almost to the initial state after 135 days of incubation, suggesting a strong recovery capacity of the soil ecosystems. These data indicate that E. coli invasion has a legacy effect on the functions of soil resident communities. However, soil ecosystems are highly resilient even under intensive human management.

Abstract
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) is a common disease that affects tomatoes, which can cause the whole plant to wilt and seriously reduce the production of tomatoes in greenhouses. In this study, the morphological indexes, photosynthetic performance and incidence rate of NSY50 under Fol infection were evaluated. It was found that NSY50 could improve the growth of tomato seedlings and significantly reduce the incidence rate of Fusarium wilt. However, the molecular mechanism of NSY50 that induces resistance to Fusarium wilt is still unclear. We used transcriptomic methods to analyze NSY50-induced resistance to Fol in tomatoes. The results showed that plant defense related genes, such as PR and PAL, were highly expressed in tomato seedlings pretreated with NSY50. At the same time, photosynthetic efficiency, sucrose metabolism, alkaloid biosynthesis and terpene biosynthesis were significantly improved, which played a positive role in reducing the damage caused by Fol infection and enhancing the disease tolerance of seedlings. Through transgenic validation, we identified an important tomato NAC transcription factor, SlNAP1, which was preliminarily confirmed to be effective in relieving the detrimental symptoms induced by Fol. Our findings reveal that P. polymyxa NSY50 is an effective plant-growth-promoting rhizosphere bacterium and also a biocontrol agent of soil-borne diseases, which can significantly improve the resistance of tomato to Fusarium wilt.

Dissection of Paenibacillus polymyxa NSY50-Induced Defense in Cucumber Roots against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum by Target Metabolite Profiling. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11071028.

Abstract
Simple Summary Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have significant potential to enhance the tolerance of biotic and abiotic stresses and the productivity of crops. However, the mechanism of PGPR in improving plant resistance to pathogens is unclear. Recently, the newly isolated Paenibacillus polymyxa strain NSY50 was shown to considerably suppress the Fusarium wilt of cucumber plants. This study was carried out to explore the underlying mechanism of NSY50 in improving plant resistance to pathogen invasion via target metabolite profiling, and the results indicated that strain NSY50 was able to alleviate Fusarium wilt stress by activating GSH metabolism and improving redox balance. Our research findings enable a deeper understanding of P. polymyxa NSY50-induced enhanced defense against F. oxysporum in cucumber. Abstract To gain insights into the roles of beneficial PGPR in controlling soil-borne disease, we adopted a metabolomics approach to investigate the beneficial impacts of P. polymyxa NSY50 on cucumber seedling roots under the pathogen of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC). We found that NSY50 pretreatment (NSY50 + FOC) obviously reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Untargeted metabolomic analysis revealed that 106 metabolites responded to NSY50 and/or FOC inoculation. Under FOC stress, the contents of root osmotic adjustment substances, such as proline and betaine were significantly increased, and dehydroascorbic acid and oxidized glutathione (GSH) considerably accumulated. Furthermore, the contents of free amino acids such as tryptophan, phenylalanine, and glutamic acid were also significantly accumulated under FOC stress. Similarly, FOC stress adversely affected glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycles and transferred to the pentose phosphate pathway. Conversely, NSY50 + FOC better promoted the accumulation of α-ketoglutaric acid, ribulose-5-phosphate, and 7-phosphosodiheptanone compared to FOC alone. Furthermore, NSY50 + FOC activated GSH metabolism and increased GSH synthesis and metabolism-related enzyme activity and their encoding gene expressions, which may have improved redox homoeostasis, energy flow, and defense ability. Our results provide a novel perspective to understanding the function of P. polymyxa NSY50, accelerating the application of this beneficial PGPR in sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an important economic vegetable crop worldwide that is susceptible to various common pathogens, including powdery mildew (PM), downy mildew (DM), and Fusarium wilt (FM). In cucumber breeding programs, identifying disease resistance and related molecular markers is generally a top priority. PM, DM, and FW are the major diseases of cucumber in China that cause severe yield losses and the genetic-based cucumber resistance against these diseases has been developed over the last decade. Still, the molecular mechanisms of cucumber disease resistance remain unclear. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the inheritance, molecular markers, and quantitative trait locus mapping of cucumber PM, DM, and FM resistance. In addition, several candidate genes, such as PM, DM, and FM resistance genes, with or without functional verification are reviewed. The data help to reveal the molecular mechanisms of cucumber disease resistance and provide exciting new opportunities for further resistance breeding.

Endophytic bacteria from strawberry plants control gray mold in fruits via production of antifungal compounds against Botrytis cinerea L. Microbiol Res 2021; 251:126793. [PMID: 34325193 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2021.126793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Botrytis cinerea causes the gray mold disease in a wide range of plant hosts, especially in post-harvest periods. The control of this phytopathogen has been accomplished through the application of fungicides. However, this practice can cause environmental problems and increase fruit production costs. In addition, this fungus species has developed resistance to conventional synthetic fungicides. In this context, plant growth-promoting bacteria have shown potential for application in agricultural production because they are able to stimulate plant growth through different mechanisms, including the biological control of phytopathogens (indirect growth promotion mechanism). The aim of this work was to evaluate in vitro and in fruits the potential for indirect plant growth-promotion of bacteria isolated from strawberry leaves and roots. Dual plate method and inverted plate method were used to verify the ability of controlling in vitro the growth of Botrytis cinerea via the production of diffusible and volatile antifungal compounds, respectively. The effect of six bacterial isolates that showed greater potential for biological control in vitro was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Antifungal compounds produced by these bacterial isolates were identified by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Six bacterial strains were tested on strawberry pseudofruits. Five selected strains belong to the genus Bacillus and one to the genus Pantoea sp. Selected strains were able to inhibit more than 80 % of the mycelial growth of B. cinerea by the production of diffusible compounds and 90 % by volatile antifungal compounds production. Scanning electron microscopy showed the intense degradation of fungal hyphae caused by the presence of all bacterial strains. Bioactive compounds (salycilamide, maculosin, herniarin, lauroyl diethanolamide, baptifoline, undecanedioic acid, botrydial, 8 3-butylidene-7-hydroxyphthalide and N-(3-oxo-henoyl)-homoserine lactone) were obtained from liquid culture of these strains and extraction with ethyl acetate. All six isolates tested in vivo reduced the incidence of gray mold in strawberry pseudofruits in postharvest. It is concluded that isolates 26, 29, 65, 69, 132 (Bacillus sp.) and MQT16M1 (Pantoea sp.) have potential application for the biological control of Botrytis cinerea in strawberry via the production of diffusible and volatile antifungal compounds.

Abd El-Daim IA, Bejai S, Meijer J. Bacillus velezensis 5113 Induced Metabolic and Molecular Reprogramming during Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Wheat. Sci Rep 2019; 9:16282. [PMID: 31704956 PMCID: PMC6841942 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52567-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2019] [Accepted: 10/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Abiotic stresses are main limiting factors for agricultural production around the world. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to improve abiotic stress tolerance in several plants. However, the molecular and physiological changes connected with PGPR priming of stress management are poorly understood. The present investigation aimed to explore major metabolic and molecular changes connected with the ability of Bacillus velezensis 5113 to mediate abiotic stress tolerance in wheat. Seedlings treated with Bacillus were exposed to heat, cold/freezing or drought stress. Bacillus improved wheat survival in all stress conditions. SPAD readings showed higher chlorophyll content in 5113-treated stressed seedlings. Metabolite profiling using NMR and ESI-MS provided evidences for metabolic reprograming in 5113-treated seedlings and showed that several common stress metabolites were significantly accumulated in stressed wheat. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of wheat leaves resolved more than 300 proteins of which several were differentially expressed between different treatments and that cold stress had a stronger impact on the protein pattern compared to heat and drought. Peptides maps or sequences were used for database searches which identified several homologs. The present study suggests that 5113 treatment provides systemic effects that involve metabolic and regulatory functions supporting both growth and stress management.

Abstract
Biofertilizer is a good substitute for chemical fertilizer in sustainable agriculture, but its effects are often hindered by drought stress. Super absorbent polymer (SAP), showing good capacity of water absorption and retention, can increase soil moisture. However, limited information is available about the efficiency of biofertilizer amended with SAP. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of synergistic application of SAP and biofertilizers (Paenibacillus beijingensis BJ-18 and Bacillus sp. L-56) on plant growth, including wheat and cucumber. Potted soil was treated with different fertilizer combinations (SAP, BJ-18 biofertilizer, L-56 biofertilizer, BJ-18 + SAP, L-56 + SAP), and pot experiment was carried out to explore its effects on viability of inoculants, seed germination rate, plant physiological and biochemical parameters, and expression pattern of stress-related genes under drought condition. At day 29 after sowing, the highest viability of strain P. beijingensis BJ-18 (264 copies ng-1 gDNA) was observed in BJ-18 + SAP treatment group of wheat rhizosphere soil, while that of strain Bacillus sp. L-56 (331 copies ng-1 gDNA) was observed in the L-56 + SAP treatment group of cucumber rhizosphere soil. In addition, both biofertilizers amended with SAP could promote germination rate of seeds (wheat and cucumber), plant growth, soil fertility (urease, sucrose, and dehydrogenase activities). Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that biofertilizer + SAP significantly down-regulated the expression levels of genes involved in ROS scavenging (TaCAT, CsCAT, TaAPX, and CsAPX2), ethylene biosynthesis (TaACO2, CsACO1, and CsACS1), stress response (TaDHN3, TaLEA, and CsLEA11), salicylic acid (TaPR1-1a and CsPR1-1a), and transcription activation (TaNAC2D and CsNAC35) in plants under drought stress. These results suggest that SAP addition in biofertilizer is a good tactic for enhancing the efficiency of biofertilizer, which is beneficial for plants in response to drought stress. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about the effect of synergistic use of biofertilizer and SAP on plant growth under drought stress.

Abstract
Various biotic and abiotic stresses threaten the cultivation of future agricultural crops. Among these stresses, heat stress is a major abiotic stress that substantially reduces agricultural productivity. Many strategies to enhance heat stress tolerance of crops have been developed, among which is grafting. Here, we show that Momordica-grafted cucumber scions have intrinsically enhanced chlorophyll content, leaf area, and net photosynthetic rate under heat stress compared to plants grafted onto cucumber rootstock. To investigate the mechanisms by which Momordica rootstock enhanced cucumber scions heat stress tolerance, comparative proteomic analysis of cucumber leaves in response to rootstock-grafting and/or heat stress was conducted. Seventy-seven differentially accumulated proteins involved in diverse biological processes were identified by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) in conjunction with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS). The following four main categories of proteins were involved: photosynthesis (42.8%), energy and metabolism (18.2%), defense response (14.3%), and protein and nucleic acid biosynthesis (11.7%). Proteomic analysis revealed that scions grafted onto Momordica rootstocks upregulated more proteins involved in photosynthesis compared to scions grafted onto cucumber rootstocks under heat stress and indicated enhanced photosynthetic capacity when seedlings were exposed to heat stress. Furthermore, the expression of photosynthesis-related genes in plants grafted onto Momordica rootstocks significantly increased in response to heat stress. In addition, increased high-temperature tolerance of plants grafted onto Momordica rootstock was associated with the accumulation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 1 (OEE1). Taken together, the data indicated that Momordica rootstock might alleviate growth inhibition caused by heat stress by improving photosynthesis, providing valuable insight into enhancing heat stress tolerance in the global warming epoch.

Abstract
Endophytic plant growth-promoting bacteria have significant impact on the plant physiology and understanding this interaction at the molecular level is of particular interest to support crop productivity and sustainable production systems. We used a proteomics approach to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying plant growth promotion in the interaction of Kosakonia radicincitans DSM 16656 with Arabidopsis thaliana. Four weeks after the inoculation, the proteome of roots from inoculated and control plants was compared using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and differentially abundant protein spots were identified by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Twelve protein spots were responsive to the inoculation, with the majority of them being related to cellular stress reactions. The protein expression of 20S proteasome alpha-3 subunit was increased by the presence of K. radicincitans. Determination of proteasome activity and immuno blotting analysis for ubiquitinated proteins revealed that endophytic colonization interferes with ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation. Inoculation of rpn12a, defective in a 26S proteasome regulatory particle, enhanced the growth-promoting effect. This indicates that the plant proteasome, besides being a known target for plant pathogenic bacteria, is involved in the establishment of beneficial interactions of microorganisms with plants.
