“…Genome analyses divulged a number of orthologs to innate plant growthpromoting genes for facilitating sustained production, such as those encoding stimulation of seedling germination (amyAS) and growth promotion (nasD, glnA, and nirD; phoABPR, acpho, phnCDEFGHJKLMNP, pqqCDEF, and gcd; and kdpABCDE and trkADGH) by inducing NPK uptake (10)(11)(12)(13)(14), heat shock proteins (dnaJK, groEL, and clpP), cold shock proteins (cspACDE and csh), and trehalose biosynthesis (otsAB), involved in abiotic stress tolerance (10). Furthermore, some genes involved in biocontrol functions, for instance, production of hydrogen cyanide (hcnABC), cell wall-degrading enzyme (chiDE), and acetoin (alsS and gdh) (10,11,15,16), and heavy metal efflux-mediated proteins (arsB, czcD, and nikAB) for arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, zinc, and nickel were incorporated in the genome of BTL07. Functional annotation also detected genes related to IAA phytohormones (dhaS, bioA, patB, and aldA), a siderophore (entABCDES), and antioxidant enzymes (katEG, sodABC, and bsaA) in this genome; these genes are likely to be linked with plant growth promotion by both direct and indirect pathways (10,11).…”
