“…Bacterial peptides can inhibit phytopathogenic fungi such as Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Pythium, Alternaria, Phytophthora, and Botrytis. PGPRs belonging to the genera of Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Streptomyces have been exploited or control plant diseases in many economically important crops [43,51,52].…”

Bacteria have been used to increase crop yields. For their application on crops, bacteria are provided in inoculant formulations that are continuously changing, with liquid- and solid-based products. Bacteria for inoculants are mainly selected from natural isolates. In nature, microorganisms that favor plants exhibit various strategies to succeed and prevail in the rhizosphere, such as biological nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, and siderophore production. On the other hand, plants have strategies to maintain beneficial microorganisms, such as the exudation of chemoattractanst for specific microorganisms and signaling pathways that regulate plant–bacteria interactions. Transcriptomic approaches are helpful in attempting to elucidate plant–microorganism interactions. Here, we present a review of these issues.

“…PGPR produce non-volatile compounds such as phenazines, phloroglucinols, pyoluteorin, pyrrolnitrin, and cyclic lipopeptides (CPLs) to suppress plant pathogens [90]. PGPR belonging to the genera of Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Streptomyces have been reportedly exploited for the management of plant diseases in many economically important crop plants [100][101][102].…”

Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria as a Green Alternative for Sustainable Agriculture

Environmental stress is a major challenge for sustainable food production as it reduces yield by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) which pose a threat to cell organelles and biomolecules such as proteins, DNA, enzymes, and others, leading to apoptosis. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) offers an eco-friendly and green alternative to synthetic agrochemicals and conventional agricultural practices in accomplishing sustainable agriculture by boosting growth and stress tolerance in plants. PGPR inhabit the rhizosphere of soil and exhibit positive interaction with plant roots. These organisms render multifaceted benefits to plants by several mechanisms such as the release of phytohormones, nitrogen fixation, solubilization of mineral phosphates, siderophore production for iron sequestration, protection against various pathogens, and stress. PGPR has the potential to curb the adverse effects of various stresses such as salinity, drought, heavy metals, floods, and other stresses on plants by inducing the production of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase. Genetically engineered PGPR strains play significant roles to alleviate the abiotic stress to improve crop productivity. Thus, the present review will focus on the impact of PGPR on stress resistance, plant growth promotion, and induction of antioxidant systems in plants.
