Bacillus aryabhattai SRB02 tolerates oxidative and nitrosative stress and promotes the growth of soybean by modulating the production of phytohormones

Bacillus aryabhattai SRB02 promotes the production of jasmonic acid in plants.
SRB02-treated soybean plants produced significantly higher quantities of jasmonic acid under optimum temperature conditions at all the time points studied (A). Though JA accumulation gradually declined from 12 h to 48 h after inoculation with SRB02 under heat stress, JA content was significantly higher in SRB02-treated plants than in un-treated control plants for up to 12 h after inoculation (B). SRB02-treated soybean plants showed significantly less SA accumulation after 12, 24 and 48 h of inoculation both at optimal temperature (C) and high temperature conditions (D). Error bars represent standard deviations. Each data point represents the mean of at least three replications. Bars with different letters are significantly different from each other at P ≤ 0.05.
