Abstract
By decreasing root 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) content and plant ethylene production, the microbial enzyme ACC deaminase is a widespread beneficial trait of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), ameliorating ethylene-mediated root growth inhibition. However, relatively little is known about whether bacterial ACC deaminase modulates root architecture and root hair traits. Thus the dwarf tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) cultivar Micro-Tom was inoculated in vitro with Pseudomonas brassicacearum Am3, its ACC deaminase deficient mutant T8-1, a known PGPR strain Variovorax paradoxus 5C-2 or chemically treated with agents that promoted or inhibited ethylene production or sensitivity (Ag + , Co 2+ , and ACC). ACC treatment reduced both root elongation and the number of lateral roots, while ethylene inhibitors (Ag + , Co 2+ ) and V. paradoxus 5C-2 promoted primary root elongation, but differentially affected lateral root length and number. Ag + stimulated lateral root development, while Co 2+ and V. paradoxus 5C-2 did not. Inoculation with P. brassicacearum Am3 and T8-1 inhibited elongation of the primary and lateral roots at a high inoculum concentration (10 6 cells cm 3 ). All bacterial strains significantly increased the length and number of root hairs, with these effects more pronounced in P. brassicacearum Am3 than in the mutant T8-1. Treatment with Ag + inhibited root hair formation and elongation, while Co 2+ had the opposite effects. ACC treatment had no effect on root hair elongation but increased root hair density. While root growth inhibition caused by P. brassicacearum Am3 was independent of ACC deaminase, the promotion of root hair elongation and density by this strain was augmented by ACC deaminase activity. Thus ACC deaminase can modulate the morphological impacts of bacteria on root hair response by affecting plant ethylene content.
期刊介绍:
BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM is an international journal for experimental botany. It publishes original scientific papers and brief communications, reviews on specialized topics, and book reviews in plant physiology, plant biochemistry and biophysics, physiological anatomy, ecophysiology, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, evolution, and pathophysiology. All papers should contribute substantially to the current level of plant science and combine originality with a potential general interest. The journal focuses on model and crop plants, as well as on under-investigated species.
