| dc.description.abstract | Salinity causes significant agricultural losses in many areas in the world. Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are a promising solution to enhance plant growth and productivity under such stress conditions by different mechanisms, mainly phosphorous solubilization. This study aims to improve wheat seedling growth under salt stress by a halotolerant phosphorous-solubilizing bacterial strain. Soil sample was collected in the south of Algeria (Ghardaia), and bacterial isolation was carried out on nutrient agar (NA) at different NaCl concentrations (300; 600 and 900 mM). The ability of the halotolerant isolates to solubilize inorganic phosphorous at 0; 300; 600 and 900 mM NaCl was determined. The isolate that showed the highest solubilization indexes was selected and identified as Pseudomonas azotoformans. Sterile wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds were inoculated by this strain and then sown in soil at different NaCl concentrations (0; 100; 200; 300 mM). Different growth parameters were measured after 15 days. The strain showed its highest capacity for phosphorous solubilization (255.152 ± 0.01 µg/mL) at 300 mM NaCl, and for phytate mineralization (0.168 ± 0.002 U/mL) at 100 mM NaCl. The highest amount of soluble phosphorous in the soil was 49.42 ± 0.36 ppm obtained at 100 mM NaCl. Seed germination percentage, shoot and root length and fresh and dry weights were found to be higher in bacterial inoculated seedlings compared to uninoculated ones. According to this study, the use of plant growth promoting bacteria represents an important biotechnological approach to restore phosphorous levels in saline soils and to promote plant growth in salt-affected agricultural land. | pt_PT |
