Poplar cuttings were inoculated with P. putida W619 (wild-type or gfp-labelled). The colonization of both strains was investigated and morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters were analyzed to evaluate plant growth promotion. Inoculation with P. putida W619 (wild-type) resulted in remarkable growth promotion, decreased activities of antioxidative defence related enzymes, and reduced stomatal resistance, all indicative of improved plant health and growth in comparison with the noninoculated cuttings. In contrast, inoculation with gfplabelled P. putida W619 did not promote growth; it even had a negative effect on plant health and growth. Furthermore, compared to the wildtype strain, colonization by the gfp-labelled P. putida W619::gfp1 was much lower; it only colonized the rhizosphere and root cortex while the wild-type strain also colonized the root xylem vessels. Despite the strong plant growth promoting capacity of P. putida W619 (wild-type), after gfp labelling its growth promoting characteristics disappeared and its colonization capacity was strongly influenced; for these reasons gfp labelling should be applied with sufficient caution. | Keywords: | plant growth promotion; endophyte; poplar; biomass production; food-bioenergy conflict; green fluorescent protein | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13119 | ISSN: | 0032-079X | e-ISSN: | 1573-5036 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11104-011-0831-x | ISI #: | 000305528500017 | Rights: | (C) Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2013 |
