Soil microbes promote plant growth through several mechanisms such as secretion of chemical compounds including hormones. Among the phytohormones, auxins, ethylene, cytokinins, abscisic acid and gibberellins are best understood compounds. Gibberellins were first isolated in 1935 from fungus Gibberella fujikuroi synthesized by soil microbes. The effect on development has been studied, biosynthesis pathways, enzymes, genes their regulation. This review revisits history gibberellin research highlighting microbial effects health with an emphasis early discoveries current advances that can find vital applications agricultural practices.

Soil salinity has emerged as a serious issue for global food security. It is estimated that currently about 62 million hectares or 20 percent of the world’s irrigated land affected by salinity. The deposition an excess amount soluble salt in cultivable directly affects crop yields. uptake high inhibits diverse physiological and metabolic processes plants even impacting their survival. conventional methods reclamation saline soil which involve scraping, flushing, leaching adding amendment (e.g. gypsum, CaCl2, etc.) are limited success also adversely affect agro-ecosystems. In this context, developing sustainable increase productivity without harming environment necessary. Since long, breeding salt-tolerant development salt-resistant varieties have been tried, but these aforesaid approaches not able to solve problem.

Plant-associated microorganisms play an important role in agricultural production. Although various studies have shown that single can exert beneficial effects on plants, it is increasingly evident when a microbial consortium—two or more interacting microorganisms—is involved, additive synergistic results be expected. This occurs, part, due to the fact multiple species perform variety of tasks ecosystem like rhizosphere. Therefore, mechanisms plant growth stimulation (i.e., enhanced nutrient availability, phytohormone modulation, biocontrol, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance) exerted by different players within rhizosphere, such as plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) fungi (such Trichoderma Mycorrhizae), are reviewed. In addition, their interaction activity highlighted they act part consortium, mainly mixtures PGPB, PGPB–Mycorrhizae, PGPB–Trichoderma, under normal diverse conditions. Finally, we propose expansion use consortia, well increase research facilitate best most consistent field.

Abstract The burgeoning global market for soil microbial inoculants use in agriculture is being driven by pressure to increase sustainable crop production managing pests and diseases without environmental impacts. Microbial inoculants, based predominantly on bacteria fungi, are applied as alternatives conventional inorganic fertilizers (biofertilizers) or carry out specific functions including biocontrol of (biopesticides), bioremediation enhancement characteristics. While some such rhizobia have a long successful history use, others performed inconsistently the field failed live up their promise suggested laboratory testing. A more precise understanding ecology modes action inoculant strains key optimizing efficacy guiding targeted situations where they address limitations production. This will require greater collaboration between science disciplines, microbiology, plant science, molecular biology agronomy. Inoculants must be produced formulated ensure effective establishment practicality implementation alongside existing cropping practices. New approaches strain selection construction beneficial consortia should lead efficacious products. Extensive rigorous evaluation under range conditions has rarely been undertaken urgently needed validate emerging products underpin growers, especially that largely unregulated at present.

The recent literature indicates that plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) employ a range of mechanisms to augment plant's ability ameliorate salt and drought stress. These include synthesis auxins, especially indoleacetic acid, which directly promotes growth; antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase peroxidase, prevents the deleterious effects reactive oxygen species; small molecule osmolytes, e.g., trehalose proline, structures water content within bacterial cells reduces turgor pressure; nitrogen fixation, improves exopolysaccharides, protects from loss stabilizes soil aggregates; antibiotics, stress-debilitated plants pathogens; enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, lowers level ACC ethylene in plants, thereby decreasing stress-induced senescence. Many reports overcoming these stresses indicate most successful PGPB possess several mechanisms; however, involvement any particular mechanism protection is nearly always inferred not proven.
