Enhanced Growth of Wheat and Soybean Plants Inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense Is Not Necessarily Due to General Enhancement of Mineral Uptake.

Abstract：

:The capacity of Azospirillum brasilense to enhance the accumulation of K, P, Ca, Mg, S, Na, Mn, Fe, B, Cu, and Zn in inoculated wheat and soybean plants was evaluated by using two different analytical methods with five A. brasilense strains originating from four distinct geographical regions. A Pseudomonas isolate from the rhizosphere of Zea mays seedlings was included as a control. All A. brasilense strains significantly improved wheat and soybean growth by increasing root and shoot dry weight and root surface area. The degree of plant response to inoculation varied among the different strains of A. brasilense. All strains were capable of colonizing roots, but the best root colonizer, Pseudomonas sp., had no effect on plant growth. The numbers of organisms of Brazilian strains Sp-245 and Sp-246 colonizing roots were similar regardless of the host plant. Numbers of organisms for the other strains were directly dependent on the host plant. The main feature characterizing mineral accumulation in inoculated plants was that all inoculation treatments changed the mineral balance of the plants, but in an inconsistent manner. Enhancement of mineral uptake by plants also varied among strains to a great extent and was directly dependent on the strain-plant combination; i.e., a strain capable of increasing accumulation of a particular ion in one plant species or cultivar often lacked the ability to do so in another. Minerals in inoculated plants were not evenly distributed in different plant tissues, and the changes varied among groups of plants within each bacterial strain inoculation treatment. We suggest that, although A. brasilense strains are capable of changing the mineral balance and content of plants, it is unlikely that this ability is a general mechanism responsible for plant improvement by A. brasilense.
