Abstract

This study examined the effects of phytohormone-producing Pseudomonas extremorientalis TSAU6 and plant growth regulators indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA) on the growth parameters of jew’s mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) under salt stress conditions. The inoculated jew’s mallow seeds with IAA- and GA-producing P. extremorientalis TSAU6 strain significantly increased root length by 45 %, shoot length by 84 %, and fresh weight by 28 % at 100 mM NaCl compared to uninoculated control plants. All concentrations of IAA and GA showed stimulatory effect on the root and shoot growth of jew’s mallow seedling under nonsaline and salt stress conditions. Plant growth-promoting properties of the strain in pot experiments with saline soil showed that P. extremorientalis TSAU 6 significantly increased shoot length by 21 % and dry matter of jew’s mallow by 18 %. Based on the results, it may be concluded that the integrative use of phytohormone-producing plant growth-promoting P. extremorientalis strain could be an eco-friendly strategy for increasing plant growth and development of jew’s mallow under saline soil condition. It is also indicated that plant growth regulators such as auxins and gibberellins play an important role in plant salinity tolerance.
