Abstract:

One of the important and necessary practices for improving nutrients availability in sustainable agriculture is using microorganisms. Beside the negative effects of chemical fertilizers on the soil and human health, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are known as an alternative to supply the organic nutrients of plants during the past two decades. Enriching soil fertility by eco-friendly methods in medicinal plants could well-support plants growth and production. Most studies found that bio-fertilizers such as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could promote physio-morphological characteristics and yield of medicinal plants. The mechanisms of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria could be summarized in symbiotic and associative nitrogen fixation, solubilization and mineralization of nutrients, production of phytohormones, vitamins, and antagonistic components against pathogens which enhance plant resistance to the stress and non-stress conditions. This paper also argued that beside the soil type, environmental variables, soil management practices, and microbial interactions, plant species could affect bacterial diversity and composition of the rhizosphere. Three major secondary metabolites of medicinal plants such as Terpenoids, phenolics and alkaloids were also increase due to the impact of microorganisms in metabolic pathway of plants such as Jasmonic acid signaling pathway. Thereby, significant increases in growth and yield of medicinal plants in response to inoculation with PGPR could be one of the promising approaches in sustainable agriculture.

Plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria: An overview

Numerous species of soil bacteria which flourish in the rhizosphere of plants, but which may grow in, on, or around plant tissues, stimulate plant growth by a plethora of mechanisms. These bacteria are collectively known as PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria).Of the microorganisms that parasitize on nematodes and reduce nematode populations by antagonistic behaviour, bacteria hold an im...

Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria: A Critical Review

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are naturally occurring soil bacteria that aggressively colonize plant roots and benefit plants by providing growth promotion. Inoculation of crop plants with certain strains of PGPR at an early stage of development improves biomass production through direct effects on root and shoots growth. Inoculation of ornamentals, forest trees, vegetables, and a...

Plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR): a review

Soil microbial communities are often difficult to characterize, mainly because of their immense phenotypic and genotypic diversity. In the last ten years, a number of PGPR that have been identified has seen a great boost, mainly because the role of the rhizosphere as an ecological unit has gained importance in the functioning of the biosphere and also because mechanisms of action of PGPR have b...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

The essential oils of some medicinal plants on the immune system and growth of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Background & Aim: In present study, some of the Iranian endemic medicinal plants were used to evaluate potential as well as therapeutic agent and immunostimulants in aquaculture. The essential oils of five species from leaves and inflorescence were used to determinate the effects on immune system in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Experimental: The experimental in a comp...
