Metal resistant PGPR lowered Cd uptake and expression of metal transporter genes with improved growth and photosynthetic pigments in Lycopersicon esculentum under metal toxicity
Open accessAbstract
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are very effective in immobilization of heavy metals and reducing their translocation in plants via precipitation, complex formation and adsorption. The present study was therefore designed to understand the role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia gladioli in mitigation of Cd stress (0.4 mM) in 10-days old L. esculentum seedlings. The present work investigated growth characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, metal tolerance index, metal uptake and the contents of metal chelating compounds (protein bound and non-protein bound thiols, total thiols) in microbes inoculated Cd treated L. esculentum seedlings. The gene expression profiling of different metal transporters was conducted in order to investigate the quantitative analysis. Our results revealed Cd generated toxicity in seedlings in terms of reduced growth (root length, shoot length and fresh weight) and photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoid and xanthophyll) which enhanced upon inoculations of P. aeruginosa and B. gladioli. Further, the metal uptake along with levels of protein and non-protein bound thiols was also enhanced in Cd-treated seedlings. Gene expression studies suggested enhanced expression in the metal transporter genes which were further declined in the microbe supplemented seedlings. Therefore, micro-organisms possess growth promoting traits that enable them to reduce metal toxicity in plants.

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.
