The development of cultivars with an improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) together the application plant growth-promoting bacteria is considered one main strategies for reduction fertilizers use. In this sense, study: i) evaluated effect Azospirillum brasilense on initial maize genotypes; ii) investigated influence A. inoculation NUE under deficit; and iii) sought more genotypes higher responsiveness to inoculation. Twenty-seven were in three independent experiments. first without (strain...
Abstract Background Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus Pal5 is an endophytic diazotrophic bacterium that lives in association with sugarcane plants. It has important biotechnological features such as nitrogen fixation, plant growth promotion, sugar metabolism pathways, secretion of organic acids, synthesis auxin and the occurrence bacteriocins. Results third to be completely sequenced. Its genome composed a 3.9 Mb chromosome 2 plasmids 16.6 38.8 kb, respectively. We annotated 3,938 coding...
Background The co-inoculation of soybean with Bradyrhizobium and other plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is considered a promising technology. However, there has been little quantitative analysis the effects this technique on yield variables. In context, present study aiming to provide quantification PGPR crop using meta-analysis approach. Methods A total 42 published articles were examined, all which number nodules, nodule biomass, root shoot nitrogen content, grain soybean. We...
Although Azospirillum strains used in commercial inoculant formulations presents diazotrophic activity, it has been reported that their ability to produce phytohormones plays a pivotal role plant growth-promotion, leading general recommendation of its use association with regular N-fertilizer doses. In addition, high variability the effectiveness inoculants is still under field conditions, contributing adoption inoculation technology as an additional management practice rather than...
Studies of the interactions between plants and their microbiome have been conducted worldwide in search for growth-promoting representative strains use as biological inputs agriculture, aiming to achieve more sustainable agriculture practices. With a focus on isolation plant (PGP) bacteria with ability alleviate N stress, that were found at population densities greater than 104 cells g-1 could grow N-free semisolid media isolated from soils under different management conditions roots tomato...
Abstract Background The release of organic acids (OAs) is considered the main mechanism used by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to dissolve inorganic phosphate in soil. Nevertheless, little known about effect individual OAs produced a particular PSB soil–plant system. For these reasons, present work aimed at investigating Enterobacter sp. strain 15S and exogenous application its on (i) solubilization tricalcium (TCP), (ii) plant growth (iii) P nutrition cucumber. To this purpose two...
ABSTRACT The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria is a promising alternative with low environmental impact to increase the efficiency chemical fertilizers, ensuring high yield better cost-effective ratio. In maize crops, several studies have demonstrated an increased when Azospirillum-based inoculants are used. case popcorn, there no available related inoculation and its response on parameters. Thus, aim this study was evaluate field performance popcorn inoculated commercial product...
Previous studies estimated that sugarcane could obtain up to 60% of total nitrogen accumulated from BNF. Here a mixture five endophytic diazotrophic strains was tested in field trial, inoculated two micropropagated varieties and three locals, determine the effects on commercial crop conditions. The plantlets were vitro, after 17 months growing field, productivity BNF contribution showed be influenced by plant genotype soil type. highest contributions observed poorest for both varieties....
