Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria act as biostimulants in horticulture
Open accessAbstract
Abstract To overcome the challenge of increasing food production with a significant reduction of agrochemical use and environmental pollution, and an increase of natural resource productivity, the use of soil microorganisms in horticulture is essential. One group of microorganisms consists of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which have been studied from the beginning of the twentieth century and their mode of action at the physiological level is currently well understood. PGPR mechanisms include hormone release or hormonal changes within plants, the production of volatile organic compounds, the improvement in the availability of nutrients and the enhancement of tolerance to abiotic stresses. All these mechanisms are described in the present review. However, to maximize the effects of these mechanisms, the proper PGPR strain needs to be selected in each soil–plant–PGPR system and the mode of inoculation must be optimized in both greenhouse and open-field experiments. This review summarizes recent progress in our understanding of the PGPR-plant interaction and highlights future lines of research that should increase our knowledge on plant-bacterial communication and that can help to improve the effective use of PGPR in horticulture.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
