ABSTRACT
Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) play important roles in inter- and intra-kingdom interactions, and they are also important as signal molecules in physiological processes acting either as plant growth-promoting or negatively modulating plant development. We investigated the effects of mVOCs emitted by PGPR vs non-PGPR from avocado trees (Persea americana) on growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Chemical diversity of mVOCs was determined by SPME-GC-MS; selected compounds were screened in dose-response experiments in A. thaliana transgenic lines. We found that plant growth parameters were affected depending on inoculum concentration. Twenty-six compounds were identified in PGPR and non-PGPR with eight of them not previously reported. The VOCs signatures were differential between those groups. 4-methyl-2-pentanone, 1-nonanol, 2-phenyl-2-propanol and ethyl isovalerate modified primary root architecture influencing the expression of auxin- and JA-responsive genes, and cell division. Lateral root formation was regulated by 4-methyl-2-pentanone, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 1-nonanol and ethyl isovalerate suggesting a participation via JA signalling. Our study revealed the differential emission of volatiles by PGPR vs non-PGPR from avocado trees and provides a general view about the mechanisms by which those volatiles influence plant growth and development. Rhizobacteria strains and mVOCs here reported are promising for improvement the growth and productivity of avocado crop.
