A novel PGPR strain homologous to Beijerinckia fluminensis induces biochemical and molecular changes involved in Arabidopsis thaliana salt tolerance
PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY(2024)
摘要
The use of PGPR is widely accepted as a promising tool for a more sustainable agricultural production and improved plant abiotic stress resistance. This study tested the ability of PVr_9, a novel bacterial strain, homologous to Beijerinckia fluminensis, to increase salt stress tolerance in A. thaliana. In vitro plantlets inoculated with PVr_9 and treated with 150 mM NaCl showed a reduction in primary root growth inhibition compared to uninoculated ones, and a leaf area significantly less affected by salt. Furthermore, salt-stressed PVr_9-inoculated plants had low ROS and 8-oxo-dG, osmolytes, and ABA content along with a modulation in antioxidant enzymatic activities. A significant decrease in Na+ in the leaves and a corresponding increase in the roots were also observed in salt-stressed inoculated plants. SOS1, NHX1 genes involved in plant salt tolerance, were up-regulated in PVr_9-inoculated plants, while different MYB genes involved in salt stress signal response were down regulated in both roots and shoots. Thus, PVr_9 was able to increase salt tolerance in A. thaliana, thereby suggesting a role in ion homeostasis by reducing salt stress rather than inhibiting total Na+ uptake. These results showed a possible molecular mechanism of crosstalk between PVr_9 and plant roots to enhance salt tolerance, and highlighted this bacterium as a promising PGPR for field applications on agronomical crops.
