Abstract

Certain plant growth promoting bacteria have ability to ameliorate abiotic and/or biotic stressors, which can be exploited to enhance plant growth and productivity of the plants under stress conditions. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the role of a rhizospheric bacterial isolate SBP-9 isolated from Sorghum bicolor (i) in promoting the wheat plant growth under salinity stress, and (ii) in enhancing the defense response in wheat against fungal pathogen "Fusarium graminearum." The test isolate possessed plant growth promoting (PGP) traits including ACC deaminase (ACCD), gibberellic acid, indole acetic acid (IAA), siderophore, and inorganic phosphate solubilization. Under salt (NaCl) stress, inoculation of this isolate to wheat plant significantly increased plant growth in terms of various growth parameters such as shoot length/root length (20-39%), fresh weight/dry weight (28-42%), and chlorophyll content (24-56%) following inoculation of test isolate SBP-9. Bacterial inoculation decreased the level of proline, and malondialdehyde, whereas elevated the antioxidative enzymatic activities of superoxide-dismutase (SOD; 28-41%), catalase (CAT; 24-56%), and peroxidase (POX; 26-44%). Furthermore, it also significantly decreased the Na(+) accumulation in both shoot and roots in the range of 25-32%, and increased the K(+) uptake by 20-28%, thereby favoring the K(+)/Na(+) ratio. On the other hand, the test isolate also enhanced the level of defense enzymes like β-1, 3 glucanase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidae (PO), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), which can protect plants from the infection of pathogens. The result of colonization test showed an ability of the test isolate to successfully colonize the wheat plants. These results indicate that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SBP-9 has potential to promote the wheat growth under biotic and abiotic (salt) stressors directly or indirectly and can be further tested at field level for exploitation as bioinoculant.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2017.
All research outputs
#4,026,515
of 23,003,906 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#3,916
of 25,096 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,889
of 324,578 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#136
of 524 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,003,906 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,096 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,578 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 524 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
