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.

Schillaci M, Zampieri E, Brunetti C, Gori A, Sillo F. Root transcriptomic provides insights on molecular mechanisms involved in the tolerance to water deficit in Pisum sativum inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. PLANTA 2023; 259:33. [PMID: 38160210 DOI: 10.1007/s00425-023-04310-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION Root transcriptomics and biochemical analyses in water-stressed Pisum sativum plants inoculated with Pseudomonas spp. suggested preservation of ABA-related pathway and ROS detoxification, resulting in an improved tolerance to stress. Drought already affects agriculture in large areas of the globe and, due to climate change, these areas are predicted to become increasingly unsuitable for agriculture. For several years, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have been used to improve legume yields, but many aspects of this interaction are still unclear. To elucidate the mechanisms through which root-associated PGPB can promote plant growth in dry environments, we investigated the response of pea plants inoculated with a potentially beneficial Pseudomonas strain (PK6) and subjected to two different water regimes. Combined biometric, biochemical, and root RNA-seq analyses revealed that PK6 improved pea growth specifically under water deficit, as inoculated plants showed an increased biomass, larger leaves, and longer roots. Abscisic acid (ABA) and proline quantification, together with the transcriptome analysis, suggested that PK6-inoculated plant response to water deficit was more diversified compared to non-inoculated plants, involving alternative metabolic pathways for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the preservation of the ABA stress signaling pathway. We suggest that the metabolic response of PK6-inoculated plants was more effective in their adaptation to water deprivation, leading to their improved biometric traits. Besides confirming the positive role that PGPB can have in the growth of a legume crop under adverse conditions, this study offers novel information on the mechanisms regulating plant-bacteria interaction under varying water availability. These mechanisms and the involved genes could be exploited in the future for the development of legume varieties, which can profitably grow in dry climates.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 203:108080.

Abstract
Although amelioration of drought stress by Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a well-documented phenomenon, the combined molecular and metabolic mechanisms governing this process remain unclear. In these lines, the present study aimed to provide new insights in the underlying drought attenuating mechanisms of tomato plants inoculated with a PGP Pseudomonas putida strain, by using a combination of metabolomic and transcriptomic approaches. Following Differentially Expressed Gene analysis, it became evident that inoculation resulted in a less disturbed plant transcriptome upon drought stress. Untargeted metabolomics highlighted the differential metabolite accumulation upon inoculation, as well as the less metabolic reprograming and the lower accumulation of stress-related metabolites for inoculated stressed plants. These findings were in line with morpho-physiological evidence of drought stress mitigation in the inoculated plants. The redox state modulation, the more efficient nitrogen assimilation, as well as the differential changes in amino acid metabolism, and the induction of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, were the main drought-attenuating mechanisms in the SAESo11-inoculated plants. Shifts in pathways related to hormonal signaling were also evident upon inoculation at a transcript level and in conjunction with carbon metabolism regulation, possibly contributed to a drought-attenuation preconditioning. The identified signatory molecules of SAESo11-mediated priming against drought included aspartate, myo-inositol, glutamate, along with key genes related to trehalose, tryptophan and cysteine synthesis. Taken together, SAESo11-inoculation provides systemic effects encompassing both metabolic and regulatory functions, supporting both seedling growth and drought stress amelioration.

Abstract
Soil salinity, a growing issue worldwide, is a detrimental consequence of the ever-changing climate, which has highlighted and worsened the conditions associated with damaged soil quality, reduced agricultural production, and decreasing land areas, thus resulting in an unsteady national economy. In this review, halo-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizo-microbiomes (PGPRs) are evaluated in the salinity-affected agriculture as they serve as excellent agents in controlling various biotic-abiotic stresses and help in the augmentation of crop productivity. Integrated efforts of these effective microbes lighten the load of agro-chemicals on the environment while managing nutrient availability. PGPR-assisted modern agriculture practices have emerged as a green strategy to benefit sustainable farming without compromising the crop yield under salinity as well as salinity-affected supplementary stresses including increased temperature, drought, salinity, and potential invasive plant pathogenicity. PGPRs as bio-inoculants impart induced systemic tolerance (IST) to plants by the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), antioxidants, osmolytes, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), phytohormones, and ACC-deaminase and recuperation of nutritional status and ionic homeostasis. Regulation of PGPR-induced signaling pathways such as MAPK and CDPK assists in salinity stress alleviation. The "Next Gen Agriculture" consists of the application of designer crop microbiomes through gene editing tools, for instance, CRISPR, and engineering of the metabolic pathways of the microbes so as to gain maximum plant resistance. The utilization of omics technologies over the traditional approaches can fulfill the criteria required to increase crop yields in a sustainable manner for feeding the burgeoning population and augment plant adaptability under climate change conditions, ultimately leading to improved vitality. Furthermore, constraints such as the crop specificity issue of PGPR, lack of acceptance by farmers, and legal regulatory aspects have been acknowledged while also discussing the future trends for product commercialization with the view of the changing climate.
