Induction of immunity and better growth in various plant species

The identification and use of endophytic microorganisms capable of triggering plant growth and in some extension innate immunity is an important aim in sustainable agriculture. In the current study, we isolated and identified a new endophytic bacterium from a wild plant species Glyceria fluitans. The bacterium was designated as a Bacillus sp. strain using 16S rDNA sequencing. The endophytic Bacillus sp. had a notable influence on plants growth. Results of our assays revealed that the endophytic Bacillus sp. raised the growth of different plant species. Remarkably, we found transcriptional changes in plants treated with the bacterium.
