TL;DR: A greater depth of understanding of how these PGPR molecules are acting on the plant will allow more effective development of rhizobacterial applications in the field, and will allow for broad-based applications in agriculture.

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of chemical signaling and biochemical and genetic events which determine the efficacy of benign microbes to promote the development of beneficial traits in plants is highlighted. But, how these microbes interact as a community to confer beneficial traits to plants is still poorly understood, and a fundamental understanding of how microbes in community work on plants could help this approach be more successful.

TL;DR: In this article, a tri-trophic model of Medicago truncatula A17 Jemalong, its nitrogenfixing symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm8530, and the PGPR Bacillus subtilis UD1022 was used to demonstrate indirect influences between the bacteria affecting their plant growth-promoting activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a tri-trophic model of Medicago truncatula A17 Jemalong, its nitrogenfixing symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm8530 and the PGPR Bacillus subtilis UD1022 was used to demonstrate indirect influences between the bacteria affecting their plant growth promoting activities.

TL;DR: In this paper , the PGPR UD1022 was cocultured with four alfalfa pathogen strains to test antagonism and found it to be directly antagonistic toward Collectotrichum trifolii, Ascochyta medicaginicola, and Phytophthora medicaginis, and not toward Fusarium oxysporum f.
