Abstract: In order to define the growth-promoting effect of rhizosphere growth promoting bacteria A2 on the growth of plant, by indoor germination test, wheat was treated by four different concentrations of PEG6000, and then soaked in three different fermentation products of A2. The germination potential of seed, rate of germination, and index of coleoptile drought resistance were determined by“Method of Coleoptile Length” respectively. Meanwhile, the content of proline and soluble sugar were measured in leaf. The results indicated that there was no significant difference of coleoptile length, germination rate, proline content and soluble sugar content under the concentration of 4% PEG6000. When PEG6000 concentration reached 12%, the germination rate of wheat was 14.93% higher than that of the control. In addition, the content of proline and soluble sugar were 66.55% and 66.92% higher than those of the control respectively. In conclusion, with the increasing concentration of PEG6000, there was significant difference or very significant difference among indexes with seed soaking treatments. So, the A2 promotes the growth of plant and induces plant producing some resistance substances to adapt to the unfavorable environment.
