Combatting glufosinate-induced pepper toxicity: jasmonic acid recruiting rhizosphere bacterial strain Rhodococcus gordoniae

This research indicates that GLU significantly influences the metabolic mechanisms of pepper plants. The optimization of microbial remediation strategies may improve soil remediation efficiency and reduce environmental impacts, highlighting opportunities for integrating microbial remediation into sustainable agricultural practices. Our findings provide insights into the role of JA in attracting and promoting the growth and metabolic activities of the Rhodococcus genus, which could be harnessed to improve soil remediation and plant health under GLU stress.
