Abstract
For the improvement of crop productivity in a sustainable manner, inoculation of legume crops by root nodule endophytic bacteria is an inevitable approach. Recently, the research regarding the use of rhizobial bacteria to improve growth, yield, nutrient composition and quality of non-legume plants has been augmented. Plant growth promoting characteristics of rhizobia (production of siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase and the ability to solubilize inorganic phosphate) have been characterized as beneficial in the production of both legume and non-legume plants. In addition, the ability of rhizobia to promote non-legume growth under unfavourable environmental conditions, as well as its biocontrol potential (antifungal and nematicidal), also qualified these bacteria for the application in the contemporary production of non-legumes. The efficiency of inoculum and harmlessness of native rhizobia to the environment are some of the major benefits of using rhizobial inoculants to promote growth and increase the yield of non-legumes. This chapter will summarize recent research regarding the beneficial effects of rhizobia belonging to Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Mesorhizobium and Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) to non-legume plants, by highlighting rhizobial mechanisms responsible for the promotion of plant growth, biocontrol characteristics and interactions between rhizobia and non-legumes.
