PGPR (Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria) have gained world wide importance and acceptance for agricultural
benefits. These microorganisms are the potential tools for sustainable agriculture and the trend for the future.
Scientific researches involve multidisciplinary approaches to understand adaptation of PGPR to the rhizosphere,
mechanisms of root colonization, effects on plant physiology and growth, biofertilization, induced systemic resistance,
biocontrol of plant pathogens, production of determinants etc. Biodiversity of PGPR and mechanisms of action for the
different groups: diazotrophs, bacilli, pseudomonads, and rhizobia are shown. Effects of physical, chemical and biological
factors on root colonization and the proteomics perspective on biocontrol and plant defence mechanism is discussed.
Visualization of interactions of pathogens and biocontrol agents on plant roots using autofluorescent protein markers
has provided more understanding of biocontrol process. Commercial formulations and field applications of PGPR
are detailed.
Written for: Agricultural microbiologists, plant pathologists, agronomists
