摘要： The use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) to improve crop growth under salt stress is gaining attention in recent years. In this study, we evaluated the potential of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain Q1 to mitigate salt stress in barley. Barley seedlings were inoculated without (-) or with (+) Q1 and then subjected to four salt levels (0-320 mM) to assess the changes in plant growth, photosynthetic attributes, ion homeostasis, and antioxidant capacity. Our results revealed that the slight salt stress (80 mM) caused little damage to plant growth and physiological processes of barley seedlings, indicating the potential of barley for crop production in saline soils equal to or less than this salt level. However, the moderate (160 mM)- or severe (320 mM)-level salt stress considerably reduced the plant growth of barley seedlings, because of the inhibition of photosynthetic capacity and disruption of Na+/K+ homeostasis. The inoculation with Q1 notably ameliorated these detrimental effects of salt stress, and its efficacy was more predominant at the severe salt level. Moreover, Q1 significantly enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes in barley at the severe salt level, but not at the slight or moderate salt level. Taken together, it is concluded that Q1 has limited promoting effect on barley under the normal growth condition, whereas it is capable to help barley maintain much better growth and performance under salt stress, especially at the severe level. Our study has expanded the list of PGPR resources for sustainable utilization of saline land.
