Beschreibung: Microbacterium strain SRS2 promotes growth and induces salt stress resistance in Arabidopsis and MicroTom in various growth substrates via the induction of the ABA pathway. Soil salinity reduces plant growth and development and thereby decreases the value and productivity of soils. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to support plant growth such as in salt stress conditions. Here, Microbacterium strain SRS2, isolated from the root endosphere of tomato, was tested for its capability to help plants cope with salt stress. In a salt tolerance assay, SRS2 grew well up to medium levels of NaCl, but the growth was inhibited at high salt concentrations. SRS2 inoculation led to increased biomass of Arabidopsis and MicroTom tomato in various growth substrates, in the presence and in the absence of high NaCl concentrations. Whole-genome analysis revealed that the strain contains several genes involved in osmoregulation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, which could potentially explain the observed growth promotion. Additionally, we also investigated via qRT-PCR, promoter::GUS and mutant analyses whether the abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent or -independent pathways for tolerance against salt stress were involved in the model plant, Arabidopsis. Especially in salt stress conditions, the plant growth-promotion effect of SRS2 was lost in aba1, abi4-102, abi3, and abi5-1 mutant lines. Furthermore, ABA genes related to salt stress in SRS2-inoculated plants were transiently upregulated compared to mock under salt stress conditions. Additionally, SRS2-inoculated ABI4::GUS and ABI5::GUS plants were slightly more activated compared to the uninoculated control under salt stress conditions. Together, these assays show that SRS2 promotes growth in normal and in salt stress conditions, the latter possibly via the induction of ABA-dependent and -independent pathways.

Abstract:Microbacterium strain SRS2 promotes growth and induces salt stress resistance in Arabidopsis and MicroTom in various growth substrates via the induction of the ABA pathway. Soil salinity reduces plant growth and development and thereby decreases the value and productivity of soils. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to support plant growth such as in salt stress conditions. Here, Microbacterium strain SRS2, isolated from the root endosphere of tomato, was tested for its capability to help plants cope with salt stress. In a salt tolerance assay, SRS2 grew well up to medium levels of NaCl, but the growth was inhibited at high salt concentrations. SRS2 inoculation led to increased biomass of Arabidopsis and MicroTom tomato in various growth substrates, in the presence and in the absence of high NaCl concentrations. Whole-genome analysis revealed that the strain contains several genes involved in osmoregulation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, which could potentially explain the observed growth promotion. Additionally, we also investigated via qRT-PCR, promoter::GUS and mutant analyses whether the abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent or -independent pathways for tolerance against salt stress were involved in the model plant, Arabidopsis. Especially in salt stress conditions, the plant growth-promotion effect of SRS2 was lost in aba1, abi4-102, abi3, and abi5-1 mutant lines.
