Abstract
A plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, designated Ps JN and isolated from onion roots, was identified as a nonfluorescent Pseudomonas sp. The percentage of similarity of Ps JN to P. gladioli (NCPPB 1891), P. cichorii (NCPPB 943), and P. viridiflava (NCPPB 635), as determined from 135 biochemical and physiological tests was 77, 70, and 66%, respectively. Ps JN persisted through successive generations of in vitro cultured potato plantlets, both as endophytic and epiphytic populations. In vitro inoculated potato (Solanum tuberosum) nodal explants produced plantlets with significant increases in root number (24-196%), root dry weight (44-201%), haulm dry weight (14-151%), and stem length (26-28%) as compared with noninoculated control plants. Bacterization also enhanced leaf hair formation (55-110%), secondary root branching, and total plant lignin content (43%). Other root colonizing bacteria or heat-killed cells of Ps JN had no significant effect on plant growth. Detached leaves from in vitro grown control plants, when exposed to 19 degrees C and 50% relative humidity, lost 55% of their moisture content in 2.5 hours. Moisture loss by leaves of in vitro grown, bacterized plants, as well as greenhouse-acclimated, bacterized plants, and control plants, was less than 20%. Changes in stomatal closure appear to account for this difference.
