Genomics and Post-genomics Approaches for Elucidating Molecular Mechanisms of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacilli

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Bioactive natural products (hormones, antibiotics, etc.) produced by Bacillus spp. play a major role in the promotion of plant growth and enhancement of tolerance to various stresses. The development of genome sequencing and the high-throughput bioinformatics tools has remarkably contributed to our understanding of the complex molecular mechanisms controlling the expression of biosynthetic gene clusters associated with mechanisms of plant growth promotion and stress tolerance. This chapter reviews the recent progress in use and integration of genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics as emerging strategies to shed light on underlying molecular mechanisms of growth promotion and enhancement of stress tolerance in plants by various plant probiotic and free-living soil Bacilli.
