ABSTRACT
Drought is the primary factor limiting rice production in ecosystems. Wild rice rhizosphere bacteria possess the potential to assist in the stress resistance of cultivated rice. This study examines the impact of wild rice rhizosphere bacteria on cultivated rice under drought conditions. From the rhizosphere soil of wild rice, 20 potential drought-resistant strains were isolated. Subsequent to the screening, the most effective strain b3, was identified as Enterobacter ludwigii. Pot experiments were conducted on the cultivated Changbai 9 rice. It was found that inoculation with the E. ludwigii b3 strain improved the drought resistance of the rice, promotion of rice growth (shoot height increased by 13.47 %), increased chlorophyll content (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid increased by 168.74 %, 130.68 % and 87.89 %), improved antioxidant system (content of glutathione was increased by 60.35 %), and accumulation of osmotic regulation substances (soluble sugar and soluble protein increased by 70.36 % and 142.03 %). Furthermore, E. ludwigii b3 had a transformative effect on the rhizosphere bacterial community of cultivated rice, increasing its abundance and diversity while simultaneously recruiting beneficial rhizosphere bacteria, resulting in a more complex community. Additionally, E. ludwigii b3 acted directly and indirectly on cultivated rice through its metabolites (organic acids, amino acids, flavonoids and other substances), which helped alleviate drought stress. In conclusion, the E. ludwigii b3 shows promise as a drought-resistant strain and has the potential to improve the growth and productivity of cultivated rice in arid agricultural ecosystems. This study represents the first investigation of E. ludwigii in the rhizosphere of wild rice under drought conditions on cultivated rice.
