Abstract:

The growth-promoting characteristics of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strain DM11 and the effects of volatile compounds (VOCs) produced by DM11 on plant growth were investigated. DM11 was identified by morphological, physiological and biochemical indexes, BIOLOG system and 16s rDNA sequence. The VOCs were analyzed by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS). The antifungal activity and growth-promoting effects on cucumber and tomato of VOCs produced by strain DM11 were studied by the dual culture on two-section of a Petri dish. The growth-promoting characteristics of the strain and its growth-promoting effect on seedlings were determined. DM11 was identified as Pseudomonas thivervalensis, which was shown to produce IAA, siderophore, solubilize insoluble phosphate, fix nitrogen and tolerate salt stress. The VOCs produced by strain DM11 could promote the growth of cucumber and tomato and the indexes related to induced systemic resistance (ISR). There were 4 kinds of VOCs, and the main component 1-undecene could promote the growth of two crops and inhibit the growth of three pathogenic fungi..DM11 can promote the growth of cucumber and tomato, and the number of leaves and seedling height increased by 15.94%, 11.63%, 7.50% and 6.55%, respectively. DM11 strain and its VOCs have the potential to be developed as biological agents.
