“…Most studies have found that beneficial plant microbes could colonize the rhizosphere and internal tissues of plants and promote their metabolism and growth. , Specifically, De Souza Ribeiro et al showed that inoculation with the bacterium Streptomyces sp., which associates beneficially with strawberry plants, could improve salinity tolerance. Bai et al found that inoculating lettuce with Bacillus velezensis alleviated salt inhibition and promoted lettuce growth.…”

Soil salinity is a severe abiotic stress that reduces crop productivity. Recently, there has been growing interest in the application of microbes, mainly plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), as inoculants for saline land restoration and plant salinity tolerance. Herein, the effects of the plant endophyte G2 on regulating soil N cycle, plant N uptake and assimilate pathways, proline and glycine betaine biosynthesis, and catabolic pathways were investigated in Glycyrrhiza uralensis exposed to salinity. The results indicated that G2 improved the efficiency of N absorption and assimilation of plants by facilitating soil N cycling. Then, G2 promoted the synthesis substrates of proline and glycine betaine and accelerated its synthesis rate, which increased the relative water content and reduced the electrolyte leakage, eventually protecting the membrane system caused by salt stress in G. uralensis. These findings will provide a new idea from soil to plant systems in a salinity environment.
