“…The beneficial effect of the inoculation with the Bacillus spp. mix on plant growth and root nodulation (Figure 2) is attributed to the production of phytohormones, the growth regulators that control physiological and morphological processes in plants, promote root elongation, stem and leaf growth, and cell division (Vejan et al, 2016;Dogra et al, 2019;Laranjeira et al, 2022;Solanki;Gurjar;Sharma, 2023). 2018), in Turkey, who obtained higher chickpea dry mass (15.9 g per plant)…”

The inoculation of rhizobacteria such as Bacillus sp. together with balanced fertilization favor nutrient uptake and growth of cultivated legumes. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the inoculation with a mix of Bacillus spp. and the application of doses of N on the growth and accumulation of nutrients in chickpea. The study was carried out in a randomized block design with four repetitions in a 2 x 6 factorial arrangement. The first factor consisted in the presence or absence of the Bacillus spp. mix (concentration of 1 x 107 CFU per mL) of root isolates and the second factor consisted in six doses of N: 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 kg ha-1, applied thirty days after plant emergence. At 75 days after emergence, the plants had the following decreasing order of nutrient accumulation in the aerial part (in kg ha-1): N (109.71) > K (68.94) > Ca (25.28) > Mg (10.17) > P (4.98) > Na (2.23). Inoculation with the Bacillus spp. mix increased rhizobia nodulation in the roots, K, Ca, and Na uptake, and chickpea growth as assessed by leaf, stem, root, and total dry mass. The application of different doses of N increased total and aerial dry mass, reduced Na accumulation and increased N uptake, and the application of 37 kg ha-1 of N is recommended to obtain greater aerial biomass in chickpea crops, combined with the inoculation of seeds with a mix of Bacillus spp.

“…Indeed, some microbes have been adapted to the lifestyle in some specific plant tissues, and furthermore, some of them are vertically transmitted to descendants within seeds (Abdelfattah et al 2022;Simonin et al 2022). These seed symbionts may have been co-evolved to interact intimately with the host, and their study is of utmost importance to understand biological and ecological processes as well as to inspire advances in the development of biofertilizers (Dubey et al 2021;Abdelfattah et al 2022;Laranjeira et al 2022;Simonin et al 2022).…”

The bacterial strain SECRCQ15T was isolated from seeds of Chenopodium quinoa in Spain. Phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic analyses, as well as genome similarity indices, support the classification of the strain into a novel species of the genus Ferdinandcohnia, for which we propose the name Ferdinandcohnia quinoae sp. nov. To dig deep into the speciation features of the strain SECRCQ15T, we performed a comparative genomic analysis of the genome of this strain and those of the type strains of species from the genus Ferdinandcohnia. We found several genes related with plant growth-promoting mechanisms within the SECRCQ15T genome. We also found that singletons of F. quinoae SECRCQ15T are mainly related to the use of carbohydrates, which is a common trait of plant-associated bacteria. To further reveal speciation events in this strain, we revealed genes undergoing diversifying selection (e.g., genes encoding ribosomal proteins) and functions likely lost due to pseudogenization. Also, we found that this novel species contains 138 plant-associated gene-cluster functions that are unique within the genus Ferdinandcohnia. These features may explain both the ecological and taxonomical differentiation of this new taxon.
