Rhizobacteria are root-associated bacteria that can have a detrimental (parasitic varieties), neutral or beneficial effect on plant growth. The name comes from the Greek rhiza, meaning root. The term usually refers to bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with many plants (mutualism).

The application of rhizobacteria, specifically, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), as an alternative to chemical pesticides has gained much attention from the scientific community.

2025年2月16日 · Endophytic plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) could replace chemical fertilizers in sustainable agriculture. Unfortunately, they are susceptible to harsh environmental conditions. Here ...

Rhizobacterium is a genus of bacteria that was initially included in the family Rhizobiaceae along with the genus Rhizobium. It contains various species, some of which are pathogenic to plants and humans, while others are non-pathogenic or able to nodulate legumes. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) shows an important role in the sustainable agriculture industry. The increasing demand for crop production with a significant reduction of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides use is a big challenge nowadays.

2018年10月22日 · Microbes of the rhizomicrobiome play key roles in nutrient acquisition and assimilation, improved soil texture, secreting, and modulating extracellular molecules such as hormones, secondary metabolites, antibiotics, and various signal compounds, all leading to enhancement of plant growth.

Bacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth are referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are highly diverse and in this review we focus on rhizobacteria as biocontrol agents.
