Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria A review

A. Benaissa

Abstract


Abstract : Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are the rhizospheric bacteria that can affect positively plant growth by several mechanisms like phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, biological nitrogen fixation, production of 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACC), quorum sensing (QS) signal interference and inhibition of biofilm formation, phytohormone production, exhibiting antimicrobial activity, induction of systemic resistance (ISR), promoting beneficial plant-microbe symbioses, and many others mechanismms. It is the biological way to replace the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides in agriculture practices. The PGPR strains present a high taxonomic and metabolic diversity. This review synthesizes the different aspects of PGPR studies, from their applications to the stress tolerance, via the different modes of action.
