Abstract:

Salt alkali, drought and other abiotic stresses are important environmental factors that limit plant growth and yield. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), as beneficial microorganisms colonizing plant roots, have been shown to have a capacity for use as biological agents, thereby harnessing their functions for human benefit. This methodology has advantages compared to traditional agricultural chemicals, including low cost, high efficiency, and environmental protection. PGPR have been documented to not only promote plant growth and crop yield, but also to significantly improve the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress. In this study, the definition and types of PGPR, their biological functions and their role in plant response to abiotic stress such as salinity, drought, high and low temperature, and heavy metals were reviewed, and future research directions were also explored. The results from this study provide a foundation for further research on PGPR mediated plant stress resistance and the development and application of these biological agents.

Key words: plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, phytohormone, abiotic stress, stress resistance
