摘要： The continuous deterioration of arable lands by metal pollution compels finding suitable strategies to increase plant tolerance under contaminated regimes. Current study was designed to examine the synergistic role of Bacillus subtilis FBL-10 and silicon (Si) with respect to mitigation of lead (Pb) induced phytotoxicity in Solanum melongena L. Lead stress (75 mg kg(-1)) reduced chlorophyll (Chl) content, photosynthetic rate and gas exchange characteristics of S. melongena plants. The Si and B. subtilis FBL-10 individually upgraded all the above-mentioned growth attributes. However, co-application of Si (50 mg kg(-1)) and B. subtilis FBL-10 significantly improved biochemical and growth attributes of Pb challenged plants. The abridged levels of oxidative markers including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and malondialdehyde (MDA) besides reduced Pb accumulation in foliage tissues, were recorded in Si and microbe assisted plants. Furthermore, plants inoculated with B. subtilis FBL-10 alone or in combination with Si showed increment in total soluble proteins, photosynthetic rate and gas exchange attributes. The inoculated plants treated with Si exhibited higher level of auxins and improved activity of antioxidant enzymes under Pb stress. Present research elucidates interactive role of B. subtilis FBL-10 and Si in reduction of Pb toxicity in S. melongena plants. Alone application of Si or B. subtilis FBL-10 was less effective for attenuation of Pb stress; however, synergism between both phyto-protectants demonstrated fabulous ability for Pb stress assuagement. Consequently, executions of field studies become indispensable to comprehend the efficacy of Si applied alone or in combination with plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) like B. subtilis FBL-10. From current research, it is concluded that the interaction of Si and PGPB seems an auspicious technique and ecofriendly approach to enhance metal tolerance in crop plants.
