1. Deciphering mechanisms of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens mediated priming of plant growth and defense responses
University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)Abstract : Beneficial bacteria colonizing plant roots are capable of mediating improved plant growth and enhanced defense responses against biotic and abiotic stresses. Such colonization has been suggested to accumulate brassinosteroid (BR) levels but the mechanisms behind this is not yet completely understood. READ MORE

2. Role of WRKY20 transcription factor and raffinose in plant defense responses upon Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain 5113-mediated priming in Arabidopsis thaliana
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)Abstract : Biocontrol through beneficial bacteria-mediated priming can promote plant growth and increase resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain 5113 has been identified as a promising candidate for priming by increasing stress resistance and promoting growth in oil seed rape (Brassica napus). READ MORE

3. Priming as a strategy to enhance stress tolerance in plants with focus on the role of Brassinosteroid related genes
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)Abstract : It is of interest to gain knowledge of the mechanisms operating behind priming, an important possible strategy to help plants handle stress. The hypothesis is that priming of Arabidopsis thaliana, as a result of colonization of roots using the beneficial bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, stimulates Brassinosteroid (BR) synthesis in plants leading to plant growth promotion and improved defense responses.

4. Biotic priming of growth and stress tolerance in cereals
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)Abstract : Instead of using chemical pesticides for plant protection there is the possibility to activate plants´ innate immunity defense against pests and diseases using bacteria. Many bacteria have been tested for their priming potential while not much research has assessed the priming effect against abiotic stress factors. READ MORE

5. Effect of Bacillus mediated priming on different natural genetic variants of Arabidopsis thaliana
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)Abstract : In two feeding experiments Bacillus induced priming of plant defense was tested for its effect against the generalist insect pest Spodoptera littoralis. The main hypothesis for the study was that Bacillus induced priming would enable the plant Arabidopsis thaliana to defend itself better against this insect herbivore since this priming seems to involve jasmonic acid, known to be important for plant defense to insects.
