The isolate IC-76 produced indole acetic acid, siderophore, hydrocyanic acid, cellulase, protease, and β-1,3-glucanase. When the bacterium was evaluated individually for their PGP potential in the greenhouse on chickpea and in combination with five Streptomyces sp. (strains CAI-24, CAI-121, CAI-127, KAI-32, and KAI-90; demonstrated earlier as biocontrol potential against Fusarium wilt disease in chickpea), the traits, including nodule number and weight, shoot, and root weight, pod number and weight, seed number and weight, available phosphorus and % organic carbon were found significantly, enhanced over un-inoculated control. In the on-station and on-farm field conditions, IC-76 significantly enhanced nodule number and weight, shoot, and root weight, stover and grain yield and total dry matter. In the rhizosphere (0–15 cm soil), the bacterium also significantly enhanced the total nitrogen, available phosphorus and % organic carbon. The sequence of 16S rDNA gene of the IC-76 was matched with Pseudomonas geniculata in BLAST analysis. This study demonstrates that IC-76 has the potential for PGP in chickpea. date: 2015-10 date_type: published publication: 3 Biotech volume: 5 number: 5 publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg pagerange: 631-661 id_number: 10.1007/s13205-014-0263-4 refereed: TRUE issn: 2190-5738 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13205-014-0263-4 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Plant+growth-promoting+traits+of+Pseudomonas+geniculata+isolated+from+chickpea+nodules&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: Gopalakrishnan, S and Srinivas, V and Prakash, B and Sathya, A and Vijayabharathi, R (2015) Plant growth-promoting traits of Pseudomonas geniculata isolated from chickpea nodules. 3 Biotech, 5 (5). pp. 631-661.
