Bacillus spp. Facilitated Abiotic Stress Mitigation in Rice

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bacilli in Agrobiotechnology

Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the main source of staple food for human population. One of the significant challenges currently is to obtain higher crop yield. Environmental conditions, cultivar quality, and plant diseases enormously affect plants productivity. Understanding rice responses to stress may help breeding for more tolerant varieties. On the other hand, several endophytic Bacillus species have emerged as a complementary, efficient, and safe alternative to current crop management practices. This study focuses on the critical role of endophytic Bacillus spp. in plant health and their stimulatory different mechanisms to tolerance against abiotic stress in rice. Bacterial endophytes have the ability to act as plant growth–promoting agents through producing

phytohormones and also enable plants to grow in contaminated soils through breakdown of hazardous compounds. These endophytes manage plant growth under adverse conditions such as salinity, drought, temperature, heavy metal stress, and nutrient stress through different mechanisms. This chapter presents new approaches for the utilization of endophytic Bacillus spp. to battle abiotic stresses in agricultural fields, which increments global crop production.
