Labeled Azospirillum brasilense wild type and excretion-ammonium strains in association with barley roots
2017
Abstract Soil bacteria colonization in plants is a complex process, which involves interaction between many bacterial characters and plant responses. In this work, we labeled Azospirillum brasilense FP2 (wild type) and HM053 (excretion-ammonium) strains by insertion of the reporter gene gusA -kanamycin into the dinitrogenase reductase coding gene, nifH, and evaluated bacteria colonization in barley ( Hordeum vulgare ). In addition, we determined inoculation effect based on growth promotion parameters. We report an uncommon endophytic behavior of A. brasilense Sp7 derivative inside the root hair cells of barley and highlight the promising use of A. brasilense HM053 as plant growth-promoting bacterium.
