Synthetic Communities of Bacterial Endophytes to Improve the Quality and Yield of Legume Crops
Full text linkPlant-associated microbiomes confer fitness advantages to the plant host by growth promotion through different mechanisms including nutrient uptake, phytohormones production, resistance to pathogens, and stress tolerance. These effects of the potentially beneficial microbes have been used in a diversity of biotechnological approaches to improve crop performance applying individual bacterial cultures. However, healthy plants host a diversity of microorganisms (microbiota). Next-generation sequencing technologies have offered insights into
the relative abundances of different phylogenetic groups in a community and the metabolic and physiological potential of its members. In the last decade, researchers have started to explore the possibilities to use temporal and functional combinations of those bacteria in the form of synthetic communities. In this chapter, we review
the benefits of using endophytic bacteria in legumes, the available methodological approaches to study the effects of bacterial communities, and the most recent findings using synthetic communities to improve the performance of legume crops.Instituto de Patología VegetalFil: Monteoliva, Mariela Ines.

Analysis of a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene sequence from Arachis hypogaea l. and its transcript abundance in induced systemic resistance against Sclerotium rolfsii
Full text linkPhenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is an important plant enzyme in pathogen defense. The purpose of this work was to analyze the phylogenetic relationships of a partial PAL gene sequence from Arachis hypogaea L. (peanut) cv. Tegua (designated AhPAL), a PAL sequence from cultivar JL24 and PAL sequences from other legumes and non-legumes plants. In addition, changes in the AhPAL transcript abundance related to induced systemic resistance (ISR) were also evaluated. AhPAL sequence shows high level of similarity with PAL genes and proteins from several plant species, including legumes and non-legumes. Quantification of relative transcript abundance indicated that AhPAL could be involved in the A. hypogaea cv. Tegua response towards the phytopathogen Sclerotium rolfsii.Fil: Tonelli, Maria Laura.

Plant beneficial rhizobacteria community structure changes through developmental stages of peanut and maize
No full textOur objective in this study was to analyze the structure of the rhizobacterial community during different growth stages of peanut and maize plants. Microcosm assays were performed using pots containing unsterile soil from the peanut growing area of Argentina in which peanut and maize plants were grown during 120 and 100 days, respectively. Four to five samples of rhizospheric soil were obtained at the beginning of the assay, at an early growth stage of each plant and at the end of the assay. Two replicate DNA extractions from rhizospheric soil samples were realized per treatment on both microcosm assays to analyze rhizobacterial community structure by high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene.
We observed changes in rhizobacteria community structure with crop developmental stages. Community structure changes occurred at several bacteria taxonomic levels, and major changes were observed in later stages. In particular, plant growth promoting bacteria genera were promoted in later stages. Our results indicate plant rhizospheric selection for growth enhancing rhizobacteria during stages of high nutrient demand. In conclusion, the structure of the rhizobacterial communities of peanut and maize are influenced by plant phenological stages, and beneficial bacteria are favoured in late phenological stages.Instituto de BiotecnologíaFil: Anzuay, María Soledad.

Genetic Diversity of Rhizobia Nodulating Arachis hypogaea L. in Central Argentinean Soils
No full textThe diversity of thirty-nine isolates from peanut plants growing at fourteen different sites in the Argentinean province of Co´rdoba was examined by rep-PCR, RFLP of PCR amplified 16S rRNA gene and complete sequencing of ribosomal genes. The genomic analysis of the peanut isolates indicated that each group encompasses heterogeneity among their members, having distinct rep fingerprints and 16S rRNA alleles. Complete sequencing of 16S rRNA demonstrated that native peanut rhizobia from Co´rdoba soils representative of the slow and fast growers are phylogenetically related to Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Bradyrhizobium sp. and Rhizobium giardinii and R. tropici species, respectively. The nodC gene sequence analysis showed phylogenetic similarity between fast grower peanut symbionts and Rhizobium tropici.Fil: Taurian, Tania. Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto.

Biological inoculants and chemical fertilizers application produce differential effects on rhizobacterial community structure associated to peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) plants
No full textThe use of biological inoculants in replacement of the application of chemical fertilizers is a desirable strategy taking into account it is more sustainable and economically less costly. Considering that agricultural practices can produce effects on soil microbial communities associated to the plant crops, the objective of this study was to analyze and compare the effect of these two practices on the structure of the rhizobacterial community of peanut and maize plants. For this purpose, microcosm assays were performed in which peanut and maize plants were inoculated individually with native peanut phosphate solubilizing strains or chemical fertilized with phosphorus, nitrogen, zinc and sulphur. At the beginning and at the end of the assays, samples of rhizospheric soil DNA were obtained and the structure of the rhizospheric bacterial community was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene by using Illumina MiSeq platform. The results obtained indicated that the structures of the rhizospheric bacterial communities were different depending on plant type. It was possible to observe changes with respect to the initial bacterial structure in all taxonomic levels analyzed of all treatments. The more notorious structural changes of bacterial community were observed in those rhizospheres exposed to chemical fertilizers, mainly in soil samples associated to maize plants. The rhizospheric bacterial community of peanut showed to change mainly with plant growth. In conclusion, the rhizobacterial community structure is highly dynamic and influenced by different factors such as type of plant, the fertilizer input and bio-inoculant applied.Instituto de BiotecnologíaFil: Anzuay, María Soledad.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Peanut Endophytic Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria Increase Growth and P Content of Soybean and Maize Plants
Full text linkPhosphorus (P) is a limiting factor of plant development due to its low availability in the soil. The use of endophytic phosphate solubilizing bacteria as a more sustainable alternative to the use of chemical phosphorus fertilizers is proposed in this study. The objectives were to analyze the effect of simple inoculations of native peanut endophytic phosphate solubilizing bacteria on plant growth promotion and P content of soybean and maize and to evaluate their survival and endophytic colonization capacity on these plants. In addition, bacterial plant cell wall degrading enzymes activities in presence or absence of root exudates was determined. Soybean, maize and peanut plants were grown on a microcosm scale and inoculated with Enterobacter sp. J49 or Serratia sp. S119. It was observed that phosphate solubilizing strains promoted the growth of maize and soybean plants and contributed significantly P to their tissues. A significant increase in the phosphate solubilizing capacity of the plant rhizosphere after the end of the assay was observed. The strains showed to survive in plant’s growth substrate and in the case of Enterobacter sp. J49, it showed also to colonize endophytically maize and soybean. Root exudates of the three plants showed to produce changes in pectinase and cellulase activities of the strains. The bacterial strains analyzed in this study constitutes potential sources for the formulation of biofertilizers for their application for several crops in agricultural soils with low P content.Fil: Lucero, Cinthia Tamara.

Genetic diversity of phosphate-solubilizing peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) associated bacteria and mechanisms involved in this ability
Full text linkIn this study, attempts were made to analyze mechanisms involved in the bacterial phosphate-solubilizing ability of peanut isolates. Bacteria were taxonomically identified by analysis of 16S rDNA sequence. Levels of soluble P released by the isolates in unbuffered or buffered with Tris–HCl or MES NBRIP-BPB medium as well as the production of D-gluconic acid were determined in their culture. Presence of two of the genes encoding the cofactor PQQ of GDH enzyme was analyzed in the genome of this bacterial collection. 16S rDNA sequence analysis indicated that isolates belong to genera Serratia, Enterobacter, Pantoea, Acinetobacter, Bacillus and Enterococcus. All bacteria showed ability to solubilize tricalcium phosphate either in unbuffered or buffered medium. Nevertheless, addition of buffer solutions reduced levels of Pi liberated by the isolates. Although almost all isolates produced detectable amounts of D-gluconic acid, no correlation with levels of P soluble released were observed. The presence of pqqE and pqqC genes was detected only in Gram negative bacteria. It was concluded from this study that the mechanism involved in phosphate solubilization is organic acids production and, presence of pqq genes in all Gram negative bacteria analyzed encourages to confirm their role in bacterial phosphate solubilizing ability as well to identify genes involved in this PGP trait in Gram positive bacteria.Fil: Anzuay, María Soledad.
