Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) offer a promising avenue for sustainable agriculture by enhancing crop resilience and productivity under environmental constraints. These beneficial microbes regulate key physiological processes in plants, such as phytohormone synthesis and nutrient solubilization. This enhances root architecture, improves soil fertility, and enables crops to adapt to resource-limited conditions. Moreover, PGPR strengthen plant defenses against abiotic stressors such as salinity, drought, and nutrient deficiencies, as well as biotic threats like pathogens. Empirical evidence demonstrates that PGPR inoculation can significantly enhance crop yields across diverse agroecosystems by increasing nutrient use efficiency and stress tolerance. Despite their proven potential, the effective deployment of PGPR in farming systems requires addressing critical issues related to scalability, formulation, and integration with existing practices. This review underscores the role of PGPR in mitigating climate-induced agricultural challenges, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary collaborations and robust knowledge-sharing networks to drive the adoption of PGPR-based interventions. By leveraging these microbial allies, we can pave the way for climate-resilient farming systems and safeguard global food security amidst an uncertain future.</p>","PeriodicalId":15101,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"e039"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143968457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The virulence of A. tumefaciens is controlled by its quorum sensing (QS) system, specifically through the TraR protein, which regulates the expression of genes essential for pathogenicity and plasmid transfer. Beyond pathogenic interactions, QS plays a crucial role in the plant microbiome, influencing symbiosis, competition, and plant health. This study aimed to identify QS inhibitors (QSIs) that disrupt TraR-mediated signaling as a novel approach to mitigate crown gall disease while exploring broader implications for plant-microbe interactions. Using a combination of molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and protein-protein interaction analysis, we screened a library of potential QSIs and identified N-phenylselenourea as a potent candidate with a binding affinity of -8 kcal/mol to TraR.

In this study, 12 Trichoderma isolates (designated as PBTMSR) were isolated using baiting technique from mustard rhizospheric soil as potential biocontrol agents and their cultural, morphological, molecular characteristics were studied along with in vitro and in field antagonistic potential assessment for selecting most promising isolates for the management of this disease. Cultural, biochemical characterization of all the isolates confirmed that the all the isolates belonged to Trichoderma spp. and among these, 06 isolates namely PBTMSR4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 were found most promising in their antagonistic potential against the test pathogen under in vitro conditions and were selected and evaluated under both artificial and natural epiphytotic field conditions for the management of Sclerotinia stem rot of mustard. Among Trichoderma isolate PBTMSR4 showed maximum reduction in Sclerotinia rot incidence (70.0% and 50.73%) with followed by PBTMSR8 (60.0% & 42.15%) under artificial and natural field conditions, respectively.

The adaptability of these microorganisms allows them to thrive in diverse habitats, including extreme ones, through the production of secondary metabolites that are of paramount importance for industry.
