Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria: Mechanisms and Applications
Open accessAbstract
The worldwide increases in both environmental damage and human population pressure have the unfortunate consequence that global food production may soon become insufficient to feed all of the world's people. It is therefore essential that agricultural productivity be significantly increased within the next few decades. To this end, agricultural practice is moving toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach. This includes both the increasing use of transgenic plants and plant growth-promoting bacteria as a part of mainstream agricultural practice. Here, a number of the mechanisms utilized by plant growth-promoting bacteria are discussed and considered. It is envisioned that in the not too distant future, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) will begin to replace the use of chemicals in agriculture, horticulture, silviculture, and environmental cleanup strategies. While there may not be one simple strategy that can effectively promote the growth of all plants under all conditions, some of the strategies that are discussed already show great promise.

The growth-promoting effects of M. guilliermondii likely stem from typical plant growth-promoting mechanisms such as enhanced nutrient uptake, hormonal modulation, or improved photosynthetic capacity.
“These effects likely stem from typical plant growth-promoting mechanisms such as enhanced nutrient uptake, hormonal modulation, or improved photosynthetic capacity.37,38”

Section 2 describes resource acquisition and hormone modulation as typical plant growth-promoting bacterial mechanisms, and section 3.2 discusses hormone modulation in more detail. The paper does not establish that these mechanisms explain the effects of M. guilliermondii, nor do the passages found support improved photosynthetic capacity as a mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
