Colonization by endophytic Ochrobactrum anthropi Mn1 promotes growth of Jerusalem artichoke
2014
Summary The
Ochrobactrum anthropi Mn1 strain, taxonomically identified using 16S
ribosomal DNAsequence, was isolated from roots of
Jerusalem artichoke. Its endophytic colonization was investigated microscopically using
green fluorescent proteinintroduced by vector pHC60. The strain entered
Jerusalem artichoketissues through the root, and was localized in the roots and stems. The plant growth-promoting (PGP) effects of O. anthropi Mn1 were assessed in greenhouse as well as
field trialswith different nitrogen supplies. Only under moderate to ample nitrogen supply, could O. anthropi Mn1 promoted growth of host plant. The PGP effects of the strain were symbiotic
nitrogen fixation, root morphological optimization and enhanced nutrient uptake. We hypothesize that the symbiotic interspecies interaction might be
quorum sensingrelated.
