Phyllosphere symbiont promotes plant growth through ACC deaminase production.

Plant growth promoting bacteria can confer resistance to various types of stress and increase agricultural yields. The mechanisms they employ are diverse. One of the most important genes associated with the increase in plant biomass and stress resistance is acdS, which encodes a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate- or ACC-deaminase.

sp. nov., a novel plant associated growth promotor.

A novel bacterium, designated strain Msb3, was recently isolated from leaves of the yam family plant (). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that this strain belonged to the genus with as nearest validly named neighbour taxon (99.3 % sequence similarity towards the type strain).

Dissecting Metabolism of Leaf Nodules in and .

Root-microbe interaction and its specialized root nodule structures and functions are well studied. In contrast, leaf nodules harboring microbial endophytes in special glandular leaf structures have only recently gained increased interest as plant-microbe phyllosphere interactions. Here, we applied a comprehensive metabolomics platform in combination with natural product isolation and characterization to dissect leaf and leaf nodule metabolism and functions in (Primulaceae) and (Rubiaceae).

The Potato Yam Phyllosphere Ectosymbiont sp. Msb3 Is a Potent Growth Promotor in Tomato.

The genus includes a variety of species with promising features for sustainable biotechnological solutions in agriculture through increasing crop productivity. Here, we present a novel isolate, a permanent and predominant member of the (yam family, ) phyllosphere, making up to 25% of the microbial community on leaf acumens. The 8.
