Q2. What are the future works in "Isolation and characterization of drought-tolerant acc deaminase and exopolysaccharide-producing fluorescent pseudomonas sp" ?
Their results suggest that the selection and use of ACC deaminase-producing and drought-tolerant PGPR, with multiple PGP activities for the facilitation of plant growth in drought environments, will be a highly important area for future research. Hence, further evaluation of these droughttolerant bacterial strains is needed in order to uncover their efficiency as PGP bacteria in soil plant systems.
Q3. What are the benefits of soil-borne fluorescent pseudomonads?
Soil-borne fluorescent pseudomonads have excellent root colonizing ability and catabolic versatility, and they produce a wide range of enzymes and metabolites which favor plant resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses (Ramamoorthy et al.
Q4. What is the role of ethylene in plant growth?
Under ambient conditions, plants produce the required levels of ethylene, conferring beneficial effects on plant growth and development; however, in response to biotic and abiotic stresses the plant often significantly increases endogenous ethylene production, which has adverse effects on plant growth and is thought to be responsible for senescence in plants (Abeles et al.
Q5. What was the EPS production under the non-stressed conditions?
Isolates which could tolerate higher levels of drought stress were used to assess EPS production under both the non-stressed and minimum water potential conditions (−0.30 MPa).
Q6. What is the chemical composition of ethylene in plants?
The gaseous hormone ethylene (C2H4) synthesized in plant tissues from the precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is involved in multiple physiological and developmental processes in plants, such as tissue differentiation, lateral bud development, seedling emergence, leaf and flower senescence, root hair development and elongation, anthocyanin synthesis, fruit ripening and degreening, and the production of volatile compounds responsible for aroma in fruits (Abeles et al.
Q7. What is the effect of ACC deaminase on plants?
Inoculation of plants with native beneficial microorganisms with drought-tolerant ACC deaminase may increase the drought tolerance of plants growing in arid or semiarid areas.
Q8. What is the role of EPS in plant growth?
EPS also helps microorganisms to irreversibly attach and colonize the roots due to involvement of a network of fibrillar material that permanently connects the bacteria to the root surface (Bashan et al. 2004).
Q9. What is the effect of ACC deaminase on the plant?
ACC deaminase-containing PGPR lower the level of ACC in the stressed plants, thereby limiting the amount of stress ethylene synthesis and, consequently, damage to the plant.
Q10. How long did the soil be kept on a shaker?
Non-rhizosphere soil samples were collected from a depth of 0–15 cm into flasks containing sterile normal saline and kept on a shaker for 30 min.
Q11. What is the effect of ACC deaminase activity on plant growth?
In their study, the authors screened drought-tolerant bacteria having ACC deaminase activity and multiple PGP traits and found that one of the 17 strains screened showed ACC deaminase activity.
Q12. What is the role of ACC deaminase in plant growth?
Their results suggest that the selection and use of ACC deaminase-producing and drought-tolerant PGPR, withmultiple PGP activities for the facilitation of plant growth in drought environments, will be a highly important area for future research.
Q13. How was the EPS extracted from the soya broth?
Screening for drought tolerance and EPS productionTrypticase soya broth with different water potentials (−0.05, −0.15, −0.30, −0.49, and −0.73 MPa) was prepared by adding the appropriate concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) (Michel and Kaufmann 1973; Sandhya et al. 2009) and then inoculated with 1 % of bacterial cultures cultivated overnight in TSB.
Q14. What is the definition of drought stress?
Drought stress is one of the major agricultural problems limiting crop productivity in most of the arid and semiarid regions of the world.
Q15. How many replicates were used to analyze the acdS and 16S r?
Each treatment was analyzed with at least six replicates and the standard deviation calculated and data expressed as the mean±SD of six replicates.
Q16. What is the common form of abiotic stress?
This form of abiotic stress affects the plant–water relations at both the cellular and whole-plant level, causing both specific and non-specific reactions and damage.
Q17. What is the role of ACC deaminase in soil plant systems?
further evaluation of these droughttolerant bacterial strains is needed in order to uncover their efficiency as PGP bacteria in soil plant systems.
