{"title":"Isolation and Characterization of Bacillus Consortia for Plant Growth Promotion in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)","authors":"K. Modi, S. Jha, P. Patel, Harish Suthar","doi":"10.32439/ps.v5i1.17-28","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32439/ps.v5i1.17-28","url":null,"abstract":"In this study, soil samples from the rhizosphere of various uncultivated weeds were collected from fifteen different locations of Gujarat. Heat treatment was given at 65°C for 20 minutes prior to initial screening for spore-forming Bacillus spp. Among them, 20 nitrogen-fixing (NFB), 27 phosphate solubilising (PSB) and 15 potassium mobilizing (KMB) isolates were screened primarily. After molecular identification only Bacillus isolates were further selected and characterized. Three superior Bacillus isolates were selected from each category by secondary screening. All isolates belonging to different category were compatible in nature and showed significant ammonia production, ARA, phosphate solubilisation, potassium mobilization, siderophore production, IAA production and organic acid producers.  The relative expression analysis of three genes NRT2.1 (Nitrate transporter), PT6 (Phosphorus transporter), and AKT1 (Potassium transporter) at transcriptional level were performed in the juvenile root tissues of Rice using qRT-PCR technique at 15th, 30th and 45th days after transplanting with Actin as a internal control. Rice transplants were inoculated with different NPK fixing Bacillus consortia, which significantly improved growth parameters as compared to control in field study. Various growth and yield attributing characters of rice viz., plant height (at 60 DAT, 90 DAT, and at harvesting), number of productive tillers, days to 50 % flowering, 100 seed weight, grain yield, straw yield, as well as dry biomass per hectare were significantly influenced by different treatments. An application of 100 % RDF with NPK consortia  (T7) treatment of rice crop resulted in significantly higher plant height (49.25 cm at 60 DAT, 107.00 cm at 90 DAT, 129.50 cm at harvesting), days to 50% flowering (75.63),  100 seed weight (3.53 g), number of productive tillers per plant (12.13), grain yield (6889.00 kg ha-1), straw yield (8754.25 kg ha-1) and dry biomass (7889.25 kg ha-1) followed by the treatments T4 (T2 + N consortia), T5 (T2 + P consortia), T6 (T2 + K consortia), and T2 (RDF (NP) 100%). Nutrient content in grain and straw was differing significantly due to different treatments. However, significantly higher N, P, K, content in straw (1.28 %, 0.15 %, and 1.52 %) and grain (2.06 %, 0.23 %, and 0.25 %) respectively, were recorded under the treatment T7. The spore forming Bacillus consortia was able to survive at a wide range of temperature and pH fluctuations and found to be effective as N-fixers, P-solubilizers, K-mobilizers, siderophore producers, IAA producers with having antagonistic activity against rice pathogen Magnaportha oryzae.","PeriodicalId":166948,"journal":{"name":"Plantae Scientia","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116668935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are nutritionally rich contain good amount of vitamin C, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin and cobalamin. They have high oleic acid and linoleic acid content. They also contain lovastatin and pleuran. Hence, oyster mushroom exhibit anti-atherosclerotic, hypo-glycemic, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and immuno-modulatory properties. P. ostreatus is one of the commonly sought wild mushrooms and paddy straw is mainly used as a substrate for its cultivation. Mycelial growth is a preliminary step that creates suitable internal conditions for fruiting. Thus, out-standing growth of mycelium is a vital factor in mushroom cultivation. In the present study, P. ostreatus cultivation was carried out using paddy straw as a substrate. Spawning was done in layers in polythene bags (24 ×16 inch). All the 10 spawned bags were arranged in a dark cropping room on raised platform for mycelium colonization of substrate. Suitable temperature (~28°C) and relative humidity (~80%) were maintained during incubation. Harvesting of mushrooms was carried out before the margin starts folding inwards. Observations such as days for spawn run, days for pinhead formation and first harvest, number of primordia, total weight and total yield of mushroom were measured in the study. It took 23.50 ± 1.27 days for spawn run and 27-31 days for pinhead. First harvest of fruiting bodies was done after the ~4th day of the pinhead formation. Total 224 primordia were noted up to the day of the first harvest from ten bags. The fruiting bodies were harvested into three flushes and total yield after 38 days of incubation was ~4.48 kg.","PeriodicalId":166948,"journal":{"name":"Plantae Scientia","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132959778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have immense ecological and economic advantages. Consistent, increment in natural and coastal development like a change of wetlands for hydroponics, construction for tourism, the tsunami has led to the demolishment of mangrove environments in India. The inhabitants of minor zones are at risk of losing their livelihood and there is a threat to the existence of the mangrove ecosystem. It has been noted that from a decade ago, about 40% of the Indian mangrove territories have been lost. At present, the environmental changes and increased anthropogenic activities have become a significant concern for the conservation and sustaining of the mangroves. Conservation of mangrove environment can be accomplished by increasing awareness about their significance among various stakeholders and safeguarding them through mandatory national policy and regulations. A specific policy like Coastal Zone Regulation has been formulated to ensure mangrove conservation, sustainable existence of local community habitat along the coastal area, fishing community, and coastal stretches for marine habitat have been protected.","PeriodicalId":166948,"journal":{"name":"Plantae Scientia","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114556484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
