Role of Quorum Sensing in Nutrient Acquisition and Synergistic Plant-Microbe Association

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Plant Nutrition under Contaminated Environments

Part of the book series: Sustainable Plant Nutrition in a Changing World ((SPNCW))

Abstract

Bacteria in rhizosphere along with plant roots create an entirely unique interaction between each other and make the soil alive. Rhizobacteria through their multiple metabolic reactions produce different chemicals in different scenarios, which help plant with efficient nutrient acquisition. Rhizobacteria make N, P, and Fe available to plant via nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and siderophore-Fe chelation. Rhizobacteria communicate with each other via chemical signals (acyl homoserine lactone) and assist the plants to not only improve its vigor but also cope with pollution stress. These chemical signals regulate bacterial assistance in nutrient acquisition and phytoremediation. This chapter details how plant growth promoting traits all work together in a definite and precise manner.
