Beneficial Bacteria Isolated from Grapevine Inner Tissues Shape <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> Roots
Abstract
<div><p>We investigated the potential plant growth-promoting traits of 377 culturable endophytic bacteria, isolated from <i>Vitis vinifera</i> cv. Glera, as good biofertilizer candidates in vineyard management. Endophyte ability in promoting plant growth was assessed <i>in vitro</i> by testing ammonia production, phosphate solubilization, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and IAA-like molecule biosynthesis, siderophore and lytic enzyme secretion. Many of the isolates were able to mobilize phosphate (33%), release ammonium (39%), secrete siderophores (38%) and a limited part of them synthetized IAA and IAA-like molecules (5%). Effects of each of the 377 grapevine beneficial bacteria on <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> root development were also analyzed to discern plant growth-promoting abilities (PGP) of the different strains, that often exhibit more than one PGP trait. A supervised model-based clustering analysis highlighted six different classes of PGP effects on root architecture. <i>A</i>. <i>thaliana</i> DR5::GUS plantlets, inoculated with IAA-producing endophytes, resulted in altered root growth and enhanced auxin response. Overall, the results indicate that the Glera PGP endospheric culturable microbiome could contribute, by structural root changes, to obtain water and nutrients increasing plant adaptation and survival. From the complete cultivable collection, twelve promising endophytes mainly belonging to the <i>Bacillus</i> but also to <i>Micrococcus</i> and <i>Pantoea</i> genera, were selected for further investigations in the grapevine host plants towards future application in sustainable management of vineyards.</p></div- Dataset
