Abstract
The rhizobacterium Serratia marcescens strain 90-166 elicits induced systemic resistance against plant pathogens and herbivores and promotes plant growth under greenhouse and field conditions. Strain 90-166 secretes volatile compounds, siderophores, salicylic acid, and quorum-sensing autoinducers as bacterial determinants toward plant health. Herein, we present its draft genome sequence.
Highlights
The rhizobacterium Serratia marcescens strain [90-166] elicits induced systemic resistance against plant pathogens and herbivores and promotes plant growth under greenhouse and field conditions
It has been suggested that S. marcescens 90166 mediates induced systemic resistance (ISR) by a quorum-sensing-dependent mechanism (8)
Automatic genome annotation was carried out using the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) service and the RAST server (9)
Summary
The rhizobacterium Serratia marcescens strain [90-166] elicits induced systemic resistance against plant pathogens and herbivores and promotes plant growth under greenhouse and field conditions. The main mechanisms of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been ascribed to molecular plant-bacteria interactions, such as phosphate solubilization, production of antimicrobial compounds, and plant growth hormones. Some PGPR strains are known to achieve biological control of plant diseases by induced systemic resistance (ISR) (1).
