Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusarium graminearum is a devastating fungal pathogen that poses a significant threat to global wheat production and quality. Control of this toxin-producing pathogen remains a major challenge. This study aimed to isolate strains with antagonistic activity against F. graminearum and at the same time to analyze the synthesis of deoxynivalenol (DON), in order to provide a new basis for the biological control of FHB. RESULTS Total of 69 microorganisms were isolated from the soil of a wheat-corn crop rotation field, and an antagonistic bacterial strain F12 was identified as Burkholderia pyrrocinia by molecular biology and carbon source utilization. F. graminearum control by strain F12 showed excellent biological activities under laboratory conditions (95.8%) and field testing (63.09%). Meanwhile, the DON content of field-treated wheat grains was detected the results showed that F12 have significantly inhibited of DON, which was further verified by qPCR that F12 produces secondary metabolites that inhibit the expression of DON and pigment-related genes. In addition, the sterile fermentation broth of F12 not only inhibited mycelial growth and spore germination, but also prevented mycelia from producing spores. CONCLUSION In this study B. pyrrocinia was reported to have good control of FHB and inhibition of DON synthesis. This novel B. pyrrocinia F12 is a promising biological inoculant, providing possibilities for controlling FHB, and a theoretical basis for the development of potential biocontrol agents and biofertilizers for agricultural use. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Dang S, Geng J, Wang R, Feng Y, Han Y, Gao R. Isolation of endophytes from Dioscorea nipponica Makino for stimulating diosgenin production and plant growth. PLANT CELL REPORTS 2024; 43:95. [PMID: 38472393 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-024-03164-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Both bacterial and fungal endophytes exhibited one or more plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits. Among these strains, the Paenibacillus peoriae SYbr421 strain demonstrated the greatest activity in the direct biotransformation of tuber powder from D. nipponica into diosgenin. Endophytes play crucial roles in shaping active metabolites within plants, significantly influencing both the quality and yield of host plants. Dioscorea nipponica Makino accumulates abundant steroidal saponins, which can be hydrolyzed to produce diosgenin. However, our understanding of the associated endophytes and their contributions to plant growth and diosgenin production is limited. The present study aimed to assess the PGP ability and potential of diosgenin biotransformation by endophytes isolates associated with D. nipponica for the efficient improvement of plant growth and development of a clean and effective approach for producing the valuable drug diosgenin. Eighteen bacterial endophytes were classified into six genera through sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA gene. Similarly, 12 fungal endophytes were categorized into 5 genera based on sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the ITS rDNA gene. Pure culture experiments revealed that 30 isolated endophytic strains exhibited one or more PGP traits, such as nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, siderophore synthesis, and IAA production. One strain of endophytic bacteria, P. peoriae SYbr421, effectively directly biotransformed the saponin components in D. nipponica. Moreover, a high yield of diosgenin (3.50%) was obtained at an inoculum size of 4% after 6 days of fermentation. Thus, SYbr421 could be used for a cleaner and more eco-friendly diosgenin production process. In addition, based on the assessment of growth-promoting isolates and seed germination results, the strains SYbr421, SYfr1321, and SYfl221 were selected for greenhouse experiments. The results revealed that the inoculation of these promising isolates significantly increased the plant height and fresh weight of the leaves and roots compared to the control plants. These findings underscore the importance of preparing PGP bioinoculants from selected isolates as an additional option for sustainable diosgenin production.

Abstract
Endophytic microbes are plant-associated microorganisms that reside in the interior tissue of plants without causing damage to the host plant. Endophytic microbes can boost the availability of nutrient for plant by using a variety of mechanisms such as fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, and producing siderophores, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and phytohormones that help plant for growth and protection against various abiotic and biotic stresses. The microbial endophytes have attained the mechanism of producing various hydrolytic enzymes such as cellulase, pectinase, xylanase, amylase, gelatinase, and bioactive compounds for plant growth promotion and protection. The efficient plant growth promoting endophytic microbes could be used as an alternative of chemical fertilizers for agro-environmental sustainability. Endophytic microbes belong to different phyla including Euryarchaeota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Mucoromycota, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria. The most pre-dominant group of bacteria belongs to Proteobacteria including α-, β-, γ-, and δ-Proteobacteria. The least diversity of the endophytic microbes have been revealed from Bacteroidetes, Deinococcus-Thermus, and Acidobacteria. Among reported genera, Achromobacter, Burkholderia, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Herbaspirillum, Pseudomonas, Pantoea, Rhizobium, and Streptomyces were dominant in most host plants. The present review deals with plant endophytic diversity, mechanisms of plant growth promotion, protection, and their role for agro-environmental sustainability. In the future, application of endophytic microbes have potential role in enhancement of crop productivity and maintaining the soil health in sustainable manner.

Abstract
Medicinal plants are rich in secondary metabolites with beneficial pharmacological effects. The production of plant secondary metabolites is subjected to the influences by environmental factors including the plant-associated microbiome, which is crucial to the host's fitness and survival. As a result, research interests are increasing in exploiting microbial capacities for enhancing plant production of pharmacological metabolites. A growing body of recent research provides accumulating evidence in support of developing microbe-based tools for achieving this objective. This mini review presents brief summaries of recent studies on medicinal plants that demonstrate microbe-augmented production of pharmacological terpenoids, polyphenols, and alkaloids, followed by discussions on some key questions beyond the promising observations. Explicit molecular insights into the underlying mechanisms will enhance microbial applications for metabolic fortification in medicinal plants.

Plant growth-promoting and heavy metal-resistant Priestia and Bacillus strains associated with pioneer plants from mine tailings. Arch Microbiol 2023; 205:318. [PMID: 37615783 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-023-03650-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
Open mine tailings dams are extreme artificial environments containing sizeable potentially toxic elements (PTEs), including heavy metals (HMs), transition metals, and metalloids. Furthermore, these tailings have nutritional deficiencies, including assimilable phosphorus sources, organic carbon, and combined nitrogen, preventing plant colonization. Bacteria, that colonize these environments, have mechanisms to tolerate the selective pressures of PTEs. In this work, several Priestia megaterium (formerly Bacillus megaterium), Bacillus mojavensis, and Bacillus subtilis strains were isolated from bulk tailings, anthills, rhizosphere, and endosphere of pioneer plants from abandoned mine tailings in Zacatecas, Mexico. Bacillus spp. tolerated moderate HMs concentrations, produced siderophores and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), solubilized phosphates, and reduced acetylene in the presence of HMs. The strains harbored different PIB-type ATPase genes encoding for efflux pumps and Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) genes. Moreover, nifH and nifD nitrogenase genes were detected in P. megaterium and B. mojavensis genomic DNA. They showed similarity with sequences of the beta-Proteobacteria species, which may represent likely horizontal transfer events. These Bacillus species precede the colonization of mine tailings by plants. Their phenotypic and genotypic features could be essential in the natural recovery of the sites by reducing the oxidative stress of HMs, fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphate, and accumulating organic carbon. These traits of the strains reflect the adaptations of Bacillus species to the mine tailings environment and could contribute to the success of phytoremediation efforts.

Abstract
The infection of soil-borne diseases has the potential to modify root exudation and the rhizosphere microbiome. However, the extent to which these modifications occur in various monocropping histories remains inadequately explored. This study sampled healthy and diseased American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) plants under 1-4 years of monocropping and analyzed the phenolic acids composition by HPLC, microbiome structure by high-throughput sequencing technique, and the abundance of pathogens by quantitative PCR. First, the fungal pathogens of Fusarium solani and Ilyonectria destructans in the rhizosphere soil were more abundant in the diseased plants than the healthy plants. The healthy American ginseng plants exudated more phenolic acid, especially p-coumaric acid, compared to the diseased plants after 1-2 years of monocropping, while this difference gradually diminished with the increase in monocropping years. The pathogen abundance was influenced by the exudation of phenolic acids, e.g., total phenolic acids (r = -0.455), p-coumaric acid (r = -0.465), and salicylic acid (r = -0.417), and the further in vitro test confirmed that increased concentration of p-coumaric acid inhibited the mycelial growth of the isolated pathogens for root rot. The healthy plants had a higher diversity of rhizosphere bacterial and fungal microbiome than the diseased plants only after a long period of monocropping. Our study has revealed that the cropping history of American ginseng has altered the effect of pathogens infection on rhizosphere microbiota and root exudation.

Biodiversity of Endophytic Microbes in Diverse Tea Chrysanthemum Cultivars and Their Potential Promoting Effects on Plant Growth and Quality. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:986.

Abstract
The endophytic microbiomes significantly differed across tea chrysanthemum cultivars and organs (stems and leaves). The most abundant endophytic bacterial genera were Pseudomonas, Masillia, and Enterobacter in the leaves and Sphingomonas and Curtobacterium in the stems of the five cultivars. Meanwhile, the most abundant endophytic fungal genera in the leaves and stems of the five tea chrysanthemums were Alternaria, Cladosporium, and Sporobolomyces. Specifically, Rhodotorula was dominant in the leaves of 'Jinsi huangjv' and Paraphoma was dominant in the stems of 'Jinsi huangjv'. In all cultivars, the diversity and richness of endophytic bacteria were higher in leaves than in stems (p < 0.05). The highest diversity and richness of endophytic bacteria were recorded in 'Chujv', followed by 'Jinsi huangjv', 'Fubai jv', 'Nannong jinjv', and 'Hangbai jv'. Meanwhile, endophytic fungi were less pronounced. Twenty-seven and 15 cultivable endophytic bacteria and fungi were isolated, four isolated endophytic bacteria, namely, CJY1 (Bacillus oryzaecorticis), CY2 (Pseudomonas psychrotolerans), JSJ7, and JSJ17 (Enterobacter cloacae) showed higher indole acetic acid production ability. Further field studies indicated that inoculation of these four endophytic bacteria not only promoted plant growth and yield but also increased total flavonoids, chlorogenic acid, luteolin, and 3,5-dicoffeylquinic acid levels in the dry flowers of tea chrysanthemums.

Abstract
Pathogenic fungi are the main cause of yield loss and postharvest loss of crops. In recent years, some antifungal microorganisms have been exploited and applied to prevent and control pathogenic fungi. In this study, an antagonistic bacteria KRS027 isolated from the soil rhizosphere of a healthy cotton plant from an infected field was identified as Burkholderia gladioli by morphological identification, multilocus sequence analysis, and typing (MLSA-MLST) and physiobiochemical examinations. KRS027 showed broad spectrum antifungal activity against various phytopathogenic fungi by secreting soluble and volatile compounds. KRS027 also has the characteristics of plant growth promotion (PGP) including nitrogen fixation, phosphate, and potassium solubilization, production of siderophores, and various enzymes. KRS027 is not only proven safe by inoculation of tobacco leaves and hemolysis test but also could effectively protect tobacco and table grapes against gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea. Furthermore, KRS027 can trigger plant immunity by inducing systemic resistance (ISR) activated by salicylic acid- (SA), jasmonic acid- (JA), and ethylene (ET)-dependent signaling pathways. The extracellular metabolites and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of KRS027 affected the colony extension and hyphal development by downregulation of melanin biosynthesis and upregulation of vesicle transport, G protein subunit 1, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, disturbance of autophagy process, and degrading the cell wall of B. cinerea. These results demonstrated that B. gladioli KRS027 would likely become a promising biocontrol and biofertilizer agent against fungal diseases, including B. cinerea, and would promote plant growth. IMPORTANCE Searching the economical, eco-friendly and efficient biological control measures is the key to protecting crops from pathogenic fungi. The species of Burkholderia genus are widespread in the natural environment, of which nonpathogenic members have been reported to have great potential for biological control agents and biofertilizers for agricultural application. Burkholderia gladioli strains, however, need more study and application in the control of pathogenic fungi, plant growth promotion, and induced systemic resistance (ISR). In this study, we found that a B. gladioli strain KRS027 has broad spectrum antifungal activity, especially in suppressing the incidence of gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea, and can stimulate plant immunity response via ISR activated by salicylic acid- (SA), jasmonic acid- (JA), and ethylene (ET)-dependent signaling pathways. These results indicate that B. gladioli KRS027 may be a promising biocontrol and biofertilizer microorganism resource in agricultural applications.

Deciphering the role of endophytic microbiome in postharvest diseases management of fruits: Opportunity areas in commercial up-scale production. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1026575. [PMID: 36466226 PMCID: PMC9716317 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1026575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
As endophytes are widely distributed in the plant's internal compartments and despite having enormous potential as a biocontrol agent against postharvest diseases of fruits, the fruit-endophyte-pathogen interactions have not been studied detail. Therefore, this review aims to briefly discuss the colonization patterns of endophytes and pathogens in the host tissue, the diversity and distribution patterns of endophytes in the carposphere of fruits, and host-endophyte-pathogen interactions and the molecular mechanism of the endophytic microbiome in postharvest disease management in fruits. Postharvest loss management is one of the major concerns of the current century. It is considered a critical challenge to food security for the rising global population. However, to manage the postharvest loss, still, a large population relies on chemical fungicides, which affect food quality and are hazardous to health and the surrounding environment. However, the scientific community has searched for alternatives for the last two decades. In this context, endophytic microorganisms have emerged as an economical, sustainable, and viable option to manage postharvest pathogens with integral colonization properties and eliciting a defense response against pathogens. This review extensively summarizes recent developments in endophytic interactions with harvested fruits and pathogens-the multiple biocontrol traits of endophytes and colonization and diversity patterns of endophytes. In addition, the upscale commercial production of endophytes for postharvest disease treatment is discussed.

Abstract
Saffron crocus is a sterile plant species that propagates vegetatively, and consequently, narrow genetic variation is detected in this species. Besides the narrow genetic variation, there is significant phenotypic variation in different traits in this plant. Here we tested this hypothesis that plant microbiome is a major contributor to the phenotypic variation. We focused our analysis on culturable bacteria that were dominant in saffron fields with high stigma yield compared to the fields with low stigma yield. Following this strategy, four rhizospheric (Cupriavidus metallidurans, Bacillus sp., Solibacillus sp., and Planococcus sp.) and two endophytic bacteria (Serratia oryzae and S. odorifera) were identified. The effects of the bacteria on the growth and development of the model plant Arabidopsis were assessed both in agar plate and pot assays. Results showed that these bacteria influence the vegetative growth and flowering time of Arabidopsis. In the next step, corms of saffron were inoculated with these bacteria and the growth and development of the saffron plants were monitored for five months. Remarkably, inoculation of the bacteria had significant influence on vegetative growth, flowering time, and stigma yield of saffron crocus. Furthermore, one of the bacteria, C. metallidurans, is reported here for the first time as a naturally occurring plant-associated bacteria. Altogether our results suggest that plant microbiome is an important factor in phenotypic variation in saffron crocus.

Abstract
The genus Burkholderia has proven potential in improving plant performance. In recent decades, a huge diversity of Burkholderia spp. have been reported with diverse capabilities of plant symbiosis which could be harnessed to enhance plant growth and development. Colonization of endophytic Burkholderia spp. have been extensively studied through techniques like advanced microscopy, fluorescent labelling, PCR based assays, etc., and found to be systemically distributed in plants. Thus, use of these biostimulant microbes holds the promise of improving quality and quantity of crops. The endophytic Burkholderia spp. have been found to support plant functions along with boosting nutrient availability, especially under stress. Endophytic Burkholderia spp. improve plant survival against deadly pathogens via mechanisms like competition, induced systemic resistance, and antibiosis. At the same time, they are reported to extend plant tolerance towards multiple abiotic stresses especially drought, salinity, and cold. Several attempts have been made to decipher the potential of Burkholderia spp. by genome mining, and these bacteria have been found to harbour genes for plant symbiosis and for providing multiple benefits to host plants. Characteristics specific for host recognition and nutrient acquisition were confirmed in endophytic Burkholderia by genomics and proteomics-based studies. This could pave the way for harnessing Burkholderia spp. for biotechnological applications like biotransformation, phytoremediation, insecticidal activity, antimicrobials, etc. All these make Burkholderia spp. a promising microbial agent in improving plant performance under multiple adversities. Thus, the present review highlights critical roles of endophytic Burkholderia spp., their colonization, alleviation of biotic and abiotic stresses, biotechnological applications and genomic insights.

Endophytic bacterial and fungal community compositions in different organs of ginseng (Panax ginseng). Arch Microbiol 2022; 204:208. [PMID: 35275265 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-022-02815-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Panax ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Mey.) is a perennial herb of the genus ginseng, which is used as medicine with dried roots and rhizomes. With the deepening of research on ginseng, the chemical components and pharmacological effects of ginseng have gradually been discovered. Endophytes are beneficial to host plants. However, the composition of endophytes in different organs from ginseng is poorly elucidated. The report of ginsenoside production by endophytic microbes isolated from Panax sp., motivated us to explore the endophytic microbial diversity related to the roots, stems, and leaves. In this study, the V5-V7 variable region of endophytic bacteria 16S rRNA gene and V1 variable region of endophytic fungi ITS gene in different organs were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. The diversity and abundance of endophytic microbes in the three organs are different and are affected by the organs. For example, the most abundant endophytic bacterial genus in roots was Mycobacterium, while, the stems and leaves were Ochrobactrum. Similarly, the fungal endophytes, Coniothyrium and Cladosporium, were also found in high abundance in stems, in comparison to roots and leaves. The Shannon index shows that the diversity of endophytic bacteria in roots is the highest, and the richness of endophytic bacterial was root > stem (p < 0.05). Principal coordinate analysis showed that there were obvious microbial differences among the three groups, and the endophytic bacterial composition of the leaves was closer to that of the roots. This study provides an important reference for the study of endophytic microorganisms in ginseng.
