Abstract:
The growth-promoting and immune modulatory properties of different strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) fluorescent Pseudomonads complex (PFPC) can be explored to combat food security challenges. These PFPC prime plants through induced systemic resistance, fortify plants to overcome future pathogen-mediated vulnerability by eliciting robust systemic acquired resistance through regulation by nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1. Moreover, outer membrane vesicles released from Pseudomonas fluorescens also elicit a broad spectrum of immune responses, presenting a rapid viable alternative to whole cells. Thus, PFPC can help the host to maintain an equilibrium between growth and immunity, ultimately leads to increased crop yield.
