The search for plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) able to improve plant drought tolerance has been long addressed, but with inconsistent results. Here, we summarize the PGPR mechanisms that improve plant drought tolerance, identify the pitfalls in current PGPR isolation and selection routines, and discuss the key points to define new strategies to get optimal PGPR for plant drought tolerance. Drought and host genotype impact rhizo-communities, and host-mediated selection strategies may be used to obtain a drought-adapted rhizomicrobiome that can be a source for PGPR isolation. Alternatively, an integrated omics-level analysis can improve our knowledge on the mechanisms of rhizomicrobiome construction, and a targeted approach can be designed, which will be focused on key PGP traits. New strategies to build PGPR consortia for improvement of plant drought tolerance are also suggested.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43180641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the mechanisms of chilling stress is important to increasing chilling resistance in mango.

The chlorophyll content, carotenoid content, catalase, and peroxidase activities significantly increased during 9 h. The leaves responded to the stress by enhancing photosynthetic pigment content and antioxidant enzyme activity. After 3 h of chilling, 410 genes were differentially expressed. WRKY70 and PLD1 were significantly up-regulated after 9 h. Compared to 9 and 0 h, there were 1123 DEG. The DEGs are enriched in hormonal signal transduction, secondary metabolites, and the abiotic stress response. Similarly, the transcriptional factor families including NCED2, MYB73, and HLH162 up-regulated.

Our results showed that both bacterial strains inoculated at adverse low humidity conditions induced the expression of JA-related genes in the plant even when disease symptoms are not observed. This effect was more evident when heat-inactivated bacteria were used, but a significant reduction in mite leaf damage was only detected when plants were previously inoculated with the heat-inactivated hemibiotroph bacteria.

We hypothesized that changing fertilizer inputs modulates responses induced by exogenous application of the defensive phytohormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) against Tuta absoluta, a devastating pest of tomatoes. We found that tomato plants grown at or 2-fold above optimal fertilizer rates had higher nutrient content and were more preferred by T. absoluta females for oviposition and were better hosts for their offspring. MeJA increased phenolic content and volatile emissions in plants, which correlated with lower T. absoluta oviposition preference and offspring performance. However, we found no significant interactions when fertilizer and MeJA were applied simultaneously, such that induced responses against T. absoluta in tomatoes were similar regardless of fertilizer rate. These results provide novel insights into the bottom-up effects of fertilization and induced resistance on plant-insect herbivore interactions.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42592613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some potential cold response/resistance genes involved in plant hormone signal transduction, photosynthetic systems and carbon fixation in the C4 pathway, and sucrose and galactose metabolism were identified. In addition, an analysis of physiological indicators indicated that both stresses caused cell membrane damage; the accumulation of soluble sugar, soluble protein and proline; and the occurrence of photoinhibition owing to the damage in photosynthetic apparatus and the decrease in light energy conversion efficiency and electron transfer rate as shown by the decrease in net photosynthetic rate [Pn], potential maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII [Fv/Fm], actual photochemical efficiency of PSII [YII] and photochemical quenching coefficient [qP], and the effect was much moresevere in pomegranate under freezing stress.

The results showed that drought stress had little effect on photosynthesis, while the SOD activity, CAT activity, and the expression of their related genes were elevated in leaves, but no excessive accumulation of O2 -, H2O2, or -OH was observed. Under salinity stress, photosynthesis was inhibited, the O2 -, H2O2 and -OH contents increased significantly, and the SOD, POD, CAT activities and the expression of their related genes in leaves were elevated. Under combined stress, photosynthesis was significantly inhibited, the highest accumulation of O2 -, H2O2 and -OH contents occurred, and the SOD and POD activities and the expression of related genes in leaves were significantly increased, but the CAT was significantly decreased. These results collectively indicate that oxidative damage to sweet sorghum seedling leaves was higher with combined stress than with either drought or salinity stress alone. Under combined stress the SOD and POD activities were increased, but the CAT activity in the AsA-GSH cycle was severely reduced, demonstrating that antioxidant mechanisms in seedlings did not play a normal protective role, leaving the plants severely damaged by oxidative stress.
