Abstract

Rice is an important cereal crop that serves as a staple food for half of the world population. The rhizosphere of the rice contributes to its nutrition where plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) play a pivotal role. The PGPR are bacteria living in close vicinity of plant roots (3–5 mm) to positively influence plant growth via nitrogen fixation, nutrient solubilization, phytohormones, siderophores, exopolysaccharides, and enzymes production. The PGPR are inoculated to rice as single strain or in consortia with multiple benefits to the crop. Moreover, PGPR also contribute in alleviating the adverse impacts of salinity, heat, drought, heavy metals, and diseases on rice crop. Rice-PGPR interactions vary in time and space as per plant growth stage, growth conditions, management practices, and prevailing climatic and edaphic conditions. Rhizosphere of rice attracts or repels several soil microbes that modulate bacterial community composition. This chapter documents the interactions of rice with PGPR in the rhizosphere, PGPR-mediated growth improvements, underlying mechanisms, and their possible utilization in alleviating suboptimal levels of growth factors. Current progress is documented based on the existing agronomic and experimental evidences; while missing links on various aspects of PGPR interaction with rice are pointed out.
