Evaluation of PGPR strains having ACC deaminase activity for their efficacy to induce water stress tolerance in sunflower under varied moisture regimes
Abstract
Sunflower is an important oil seed crop in Pakistan but incidence of drought stress considerably hampers its growth and productivity. The present pot study was performed to evaluate the potential of PGPR strains having ACC deaminase activity for their efficacy to induce water stress tolerance in sunflower. Ten PGPR strains (KS7, KS8, KS10, KS15, KS17, KS25, KS28, KS41, KS42 and KS44) already isolated and identified (Kiani et al., 2015) along with uninoculated control were tested at three soil moisture levels (25, 20 and 15% volumetric water contents representing no, medium and high soil water stress, respectively) in a two factor Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The volumetric water contents were determined daily with Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) and different soil moisture regimes were maintained accordingly. Four plants were maintained in each pot. Two plants each after 30 and 60 days of germination were harvested for data recorded. The results revealed that at high water stressed condition (15%VWC),KS42 and KS17 caused maximum increase of upto 35% and 31%, respectively in chlorophyll SPAD readings over uninoculated control after 30 and 60 DAG. While in terms of growth traits PGPR strains KS42 and KS7 outperformed and gave maximum increment of upto 151% &104%, 255% & 205% and 139% & 100% in fresh & dry shoot weight, fresh & dry root weight and total root length, respectively over uninoculated control. It was concluded that PGPR strains KS42 and KS7 exhibited greater potential for mitigation of negative effects of drought stress in sunflower.
