Abstract
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a vital C4 Panicoid millet crop, predominantly thrives in rainfed regions subject to various abiotic stresses, notably drought and cold stress, limiting its growth potential and yield. As climate change exacerbates water scarcity, understanding methods to mitigate drought's adverse effects becomes crucial. However, particular bacteria flourishing in the rhizosphere, demonstrating resilience to drought and skilled at nurturing plant health, are recognized for their ability to enhance growth under various abiotic stresses. The current study demonstrated the varying effects of Pseudomonas putida MTCC5279 (RA) on mitigating drought stress under low-temperature field conditions for the pearl millet genotypes PRLT2/89–33 (drought-tolerant) and H77/833–2 (drought-resistant). Plants of both genotypes are grown till panicle emergence and subjected to drought stress at the start of January where temperature also drops in field conditions. The compound effect of drought with low temperature severely affects the inflorescence of both the genotypes but RA-inoculated PRLT2/89–33 plants have better performance than their respective control and drought plants as well compared to H77/833–2 genotypes. Abiotic stresses markedly influenced growth metrics, osmolyte buildup, MDA levels, and the capability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), all of which saw positive modulation following the application of RA in PRLT2/89–33. To our knowledge, this study represents the first comprehensive examination of P. putida-mediated plant growth enhancement in pearl millet under the combined effects of abiotic stresses.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Plant Growth Regulation is an international publication featuring original articles on all aspects of plant growth and development. We welcome manuscripts reporting question-based research on various aspects of plant growth and development using hormonal, physiological, environmental, genetic, biophysical, developmental and/or molecular approaches.
The journal also publishes timely reviews on highly relevant areas and/or studies in plant growth and development, including interdisciplinary work with an emphasis on plant growth, plant hormones and plant pathology or abiotic stress.
In addition, the journal features occasional thematic issues with special guest editors, as well as brief communications describing novel techniques and meeting reports.
The journal is unlikely to accept manuscripts that are purely descriptive in nature or reports work with simple tissue culture without attempting to investigate the underlying mechanisms of plant growth regulation, those that focus exclusively on microbial communities, or deal with the (elicitation by plant hormones of) synthesis of secondary metabolites.
