Exploring the rhizosphere of perennial wheat: potential for plant growth promotion and biocontrol applications
2024
Overview
Perennial grains, which remain productive for multiple years, rather than growing for only one season before harvest, have deep, dense root systems that can support a richness of beneficial microorganisms, which are mostly underexplored. In this work we isolated forty-three bacterial strains associated with the rhizosphere of the OK72 perennial wheat line, developed from a cross between winter common wheat and
Thinopyrum ponticum
. Identified using 16S rDNA sequencing, these bacteria were assessed for plant growth-promoting traits such as indole-3-acetic acid, siderophores and ACC-deaminase acid production, biofilm formation, and the ability to solubilize phosphate and proteins. Twenty-five strains exhibiting in vitro significant plant growth promoting traits, belong to wheat keystone genera
Pseudomonas
,
Microbacterium
,
Variovorax
,
Pedobacter
,
Dyadobacter
,
Plantibacter
, and
Flavobacterium.
Seven strains, including
Aeromicrobium
and
Okibacterium
genera, were able to promote root growth in a commercial annual wheat cultivar while strains from
Pseudomonas
genus inhibited the growth of
Aspergillus flavus
and
Fusarium
species, using direct antagonism assays. The same strains produced a high amount of 1-undecanol a volatile organic compound, which may aid in suppressing fungal growth. The study highlights the potential of these bacteria to form new commercial consortia, enhancing the health and productivity of annual wheat crops within sustainable agricultural practices.
