Abstract:Bacillus pumilus TUAT1 acts as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for various plants like rice and Arabidopsis. Under stress conditions, B. pumilus TUAT1 forms spores with a thick peptidoglycan (PGN) cell wall. Previous research showed that spores were significantly more effective than vegetative cells in enhancing plant growth. In Arabidopsis, the lysin-motif proteins LYM1, LYM3, and CERK1 are required for recognizing bacterial peptidoglycans (PGNs) to mediate immunity. Here, we examined the involvem… Show more
