چکیده
HIGHLIGHTS Azospirillum brasilense stimulates root growth in maize under water deficit. Maize inoculated with A. shows greater photosynthesis drought conditions. Under deficit, plants showed use efficiency (WUE).

Azospirillum brasilense does not affect population structure of specific rhizobacterial communities of inoculated maize (Zea mays).
Positive response of plant species to plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have led to an increased interest in their use as bacterial inoculants. However, the introduction of exogenous bacteria into natural ecosystems may perturb bacterial populations within the microbial community and lead to the disruption of indigenous populations performing key functional roles. In this study the effect of...
متن کاملWater relations in Azospirillum-inoculated wheat seedlings under osmotic stress
Azospirillum has been shown to improve coleoptile growth in seedlings growing in darkness under osmotic stress. However, the changes in water relations that may occur in this experimental system have not yet been studied. Two-centimetre long Triticum aestivum cv. Buck Pucará and Triticum durum cv. Balcarceño-INTA seedlings were inoculated with viable or autoclaved (control) Azospirillum brasile...
متن کاملRoot-to-Root Travel of the Beneficial Bacterium Azospirillum brasilense.
The root-to-root travel of the beneficial bacterium Azospirillum brasilense on wheat and soybean roots in agar, sand, and light-textured soil was monitored. We used a motile wild-type (Mot) strain and a motility-deficient (Mot) strain which was derived from the wild-type strain. The colonization levels of inoculated roots were similar for the two strains. Mot cells moved from inoculated roots (...
متن کاملEnhanced Mineral Uptake by Zea mays and Sorghum bicolor Roots Inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense.
Inoculation of corn (Zea mays) seeds with Azospirillum brasilense strain Cd or Sp 7 significantly enhanced (30 to 50% over controls) the uptake of NO(3), K, and H(2)PO(4) into 3- to 4-day- and 2-week-old root segments. No gross changes in root morphology were observed; altered cell arrangement in the outer four or five layers of the cortex was seen in photomicrographs of cross sections of inocu...
متن کاملActivity of two catabolic enzymes of the phosphogluconate pathway in mesquite roots inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense Cd.
The mesquite amargo (Prosopis articulate), one of the main nurse trees of the Sonoran Desert in Mexico, is responsible for major, natural re-vegetation processes. It exudes gluconic acid in root exudates, a favorite carbon source for the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense. Two enzymes, gluconokinase (EC 2.7.1.12) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44), particip...
