“…However, application of consortia gave better results than individual bacterial inoculation. These findings are in agreement with previously reported literature (Mishra et al, 2018;Agarwal et al, 2020). Furthermore, they significantly increased plant fitness parameters such as shoot and root length, fresh biomass of shoot and root of pea plants in comparison to non-inoculated plants.…”

The present study demonstrates plant growth promotion and induction of systemic resistance in pea (Pisum sativum) plant against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi by two bacterial endophytes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa OS_12 and Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus OS_25 isolated from leaves of Ocimum sanctum Linn. The endophytes were evaluated for their antagonistic potential against three phytopathogens Rhizoctonia solani, F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi, and Pythium aphanidermatum by dual culture assay. Maximum inhibition of F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi was observed by strains OS_12 and OS_25 among all root rot pathogens. Scanning electron microscopy of dual culture indicated hyphal distortion and destruction in the case of F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi. Further, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The GC-MS detected eight bioactive compounds from hexane extracts for instance, Dodecanoic acid, Tetra decanoic acid, L-ascorbic acid, Trans-13-Octadecanoic acid, Octadecanoic acid. Both the endophytes exhibited multifarious plant growth promoting traits such as indole acetic production (30–33 μg IAA ml–1), phosphate solubilization, and siderophore and ammonia production. Pot trials were conducted to assess the efficacy of endophytes in field conditions. A significant reduction in disease mortality rate and enhancement of growth parameters was observed in pea plants treated with consortium of endophytes OS_12 and OS_25 challenged with F. oxysporum f.sp. pisi infection. The endophytic strains elicited induced systemic resistance (ISR) in pathogen challenged pea plants by enhancing activities of Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidase (PO), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), ascorbate oxidase (AO), catalase (CAT) and total phenolic content. The endophytes reduced the oxidative stress as revealed by decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) content and subsequently, lipid peroxidation in host plant leaves. Robust root colonization of pea seedlings by endophytes was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence microscopy. Thus, plant growth promoting endophytic P. aeruginosa and A. aneurinilyticus can be further exploited through bio-formulations for sustainable protection of crops against root rot diseases as bio-control agents.

“…The ability of endophytic bacterial isolates to inhibit the phytopathogenic strain of P. syringae pv. atrofaciens was determined using agar well diffusion assay as described by Agarwal et al (2020), with slight modifications. The overnight culture of phytopathogenic bacteria (OD600 ∼ 0.4) and endophytic isolates (OD600 ∼ 0.4) in PBS were prepared.…”

Deep insight into compositional and functional features of endophytic bacterial communities residing in wheat grains opens the way to the use of their plant growth promoting and biocontrol abilities in agricultural biotechnology. The aim of this work was to compare grain-residing endophytes from winter wheat varieties with different sensitivity to Pseudomonas syringae pv. atrofaciens (McCulloch) and to examine their plant-beneficial traits and antagonistic effects. Grain-residing bacteria were isolated from surface-sterilized grains of three wheat varieties sown in Ukraine following a culture-dependent protocol, and were screened for their plant growth promotion (PGP) and antagonistic properties. Bacterial morphotypes were represented by gram-negative rods, endospore-forming bacilli and gram-positive cocci. Different resistance to phytopathogenic pseudomonads was associated with distinctive quantitative and functional features of grain-residing endophytic communities. High resistance to P. syringae was coupled with the prevalence of gram-negative rods in the endophytic community, the highest proportion of endophytic bacteria possessing three PGP activities (phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation and production of indolic compounds) simultaneously, and with the most potent antagonistic activity of grain-residing endospore-forming bacilli. In total, five grain-residing isolates, which were obtained from three wheat varieties (two isolates from varieties with medium and high resistance and one – from a low-resistant variety), demonstrated ability to restrain P. syringae pv. atrofaciens (McCulloch) growth. Two isolates (P6 and P10) which were obtained from the high-resistant wheat variety Podolyanka and were assigned to Paenibacillus and Brevibacillus genera according to their biochemical profiling and MS-DS identification, showed the most potent antagonistic effects as indicated by maximum inhibition zone in agar well diffusion assay. These results shed light on the association of the features of grain-residing endophytic bacteria with wheat resistance to phytopathogenic pseudomonads. Isolates from the high-resistant wheat variety can be recommended for grain dressing as plant growth promoting and biocontrol agents for P. syringae pv. atrofaciens (McCulloch).

The aim of this work was to isolate endophytic bacteria from wheat grains and to evaluate their plant growth promoting traits (PGPT) as well as an inhibitory effect on P. syringae pv. atrofaciens (McCulloch) growth. Endophytic bacteria were isolated by a culture-dependent protocol from the grains of winter wheat variety of Ukrainian selection Podolyanka with high resistance to syringae. Totally 2.7±0.09 CFU/1 g of dry wheat grain were isolated, ten cultivable bacterial isolates were obtained. Spore-forming bacilli predominated in the wheat grain endophytic community. Gram-negative fermenting and non-fermenting rod-shaped bacteria and Gram-positive cocci were also present. Seven out of ten isolates possessed numerous plant growth promoting traits including phosphate solubilization, oligonitrotrophy, and indolic compound producing. Two isolates possessed antagoniscic activity against syringae in vitro along with plant growth promoting features. According to biochemical profiling and mass-spectrophotometric identification, these two isolates were assigned to Paenibacillus and Brevibacillus genera. These endophytic bacteria can be considered as promising objects for agrobiotechnology. However, more research is needed to confirm their biotechnological potential in planta experiments
