TLDR
This paper addresses changes in plant gene expression induced by inoculation with plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), suggesting that genes and/or gene classes associated with plant defenses against abiotic and biotic stress may be co-regulated.Abstract:
This paper addresses changes in plant gene expression induced by inoculation with plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). A gnotobiotic system was established with Arabidopsis thaliana as model plant, and isolates of Paenibacillus polymyxa as PGPR. Subsequent challenge by either the pathogen Erwinia carotovora (biotic stress) or induction of drought (abiotic stress) indicated that inoculated plants were more resistant than control plants. With RNA differential display on parallel RNA preparations from P. polymyxa-treated or untreated plants, changes in gene expression were investigated. From a small number of candidate sequences obtained by this approach, one mRNA segment showed a strong inoculation-dependent increase in abundance. The corresponding gene was identified as ERD15, previously identified to be drought stress responsive. Quantification of mRNA levels of several stress-responsive genes indicated that P. polymyxa induced mild biotic stress. This suggests that genes and/or gene classes associated with plant defenses against abiotic and biotic stress may be co-regulated. Implications of the effects of PGPR on the induction of plant defense pathways are discussed.read more

Microbial interactions and biocontrol in the rhizosphere
TL;DR: Multiple microbial interactions involving bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere are shown to provide enhanced biocontrol in many cases in comparison with biocOntrol agents used singly.

Rhizosphere bacteria help plants tolerate abiotic stress
TL;DR: PGPR might also increase nutrient uptake from soils, thus reducing the need for fertilizers and preventing the accumulation of nitrates and phosphates in agricultural soils, and reduce the effects of water contamination from fertilizer run-off and lead to savings for farmers.

Promotion of plant growth by ACC deaminase-producing soil bacteria
TL;DR: In this article, the physiological basis for plant growth-promotion effect is examined in some detail, and models are presented that endeavour to explain the seemingly paradoxical effects of ethylene on a plant's response to stress, how the expression of this enzyme is transcriptionally regulated in many bacterial strains and how ACC deaminase-containing plant growthpromoting bacteria alter plant gene expression and positively modulate plant growth.

TL;DR: A method to separate and clone individual messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by means of the polymerase chain reaction using a set of oligonucleotide primers, one being anchored to the polyadenylate tail of a subset of mRNAs, the other being short and arbitrary in sequence so that it anneals at different positions relative to the first primer.
