Endophytic Pseudomonas oryzihabitans CB24 enhances photosynthesis and growth in Pelargonium graveolens by increasing chloroplast glycerolipids and secondary metabolites.
- Why it matters: Understanding how endophytes influence plant physiology can lead to sustainable ways to improve crop yield and phytochemical production, addressing gaps in mechanistic knowledge.
- What they did: The study involved inoculating Pseudomonas oryzihabitans CB24 into P. graveolens and analyzing lipid profiles, gene expression, and metabolic pathways, focusing on 10 key genes and lipid compounds.
- The result: The endophyte significantly boosted chloroplast lipids, RuBisCO activity, and secondary terpenoid biosynthesis, resulting in improved plant growth, development, and yield potential.
