The ways in which plant growth promoting rhizobacteria facilitate the of plants are considered and discussed. Both indirect direct mechanisms promotion dealt with. possibility improving by specific genetic manipulation is critically examined.Key words: rhizobacteria, PGPR, bacterial fertilizer, soil bacteria.
ABSTRACT Many plant-associated bacteria synthesize the phytohormone indoleacetic acid (IAA). While IAA produced by phytopathogenic bacteria, mainly indoleacetamide pathway, has been implicated in induction of plant tumors, it is not clear whether synthesized beneficial usually via indolepyruvic involved growth promotion. To determine bacterial enhances root development host plants, ipdc gene that encodes indolepyruvate decarboxylase, a key enzyme was isolated from growth-promoting bacterium...
One of the major mechanisms utilized by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to facilitate growth and development is lowering ethylene levels deamination 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) immediate precursor in plants. The enzyme catalysing this reaction, ACC deaminase, hydrolyses alpha-ketobutyrate ammonia. Several bacterial strains that can utilize as a sole source nitrogen have been isolated from rhizosphere soil samples. All these are considered be PGPR based on ability...
Kluyvera ascorbata SUD165 and a siderophore-overproducing mutant of this bacterium, K. SUD165/26, were used to inoculate tomato, canola, Indian mustard seeds which then grown in soil for 25-42 days the presence either nickel, lead, or zinc. The parameters that monitored included plant wet dry weight, protein chlorophyll content leaves, concentration heavy metal roots shoots. As indicated by decrease measured values these parameters, all instances, growth was inhibited added metal. Both...
To date, there has been only limited commercial use of plant growth-promoting bacteria in agriculture, horticulture, and silviculture. However, with recent progress toward understanding the mechanisms that these organisms utilize to facilitate growth, is expected continue increase worldwide. One key employed by growth lowering ethylene levels enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. This article reviews published work on this enzyme, an emphasis its biochemistry, protein...
