Bacillussubtilisis well known for its biocontrol activity against several plant pathogens and for its role in promoting plant growth. HpaGXooc, from rice pathogenic bacteriumXanthomonasoryzaepv.oryzicola, is a member of the harpin group of proteins. It is known to elicit hypersensitive cell death in non-host plants, thereby inducing disease and insect resistance in the plants and enhancing plant growth. In our previous experiment, we constructed a genetically engineered strain—B. subtilisOKBHF—through the introduction of the gene encoding HpaGXoocintoB. subtilisOKB105 in order to combine the effects of HpaGXoocand wild-type PGPR in improving the plant growth rate and for biological control. In this study, we evaluated the use of treating the tomato plant withB. subtilisOKBHF. The results of greenhouse experiments demonstrated that OKBHF treatment had a significant effect on increasing the height, fresh weight, and flower and fruit number and obviously lowered the disease severity of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infection at 28 days postinoculation (dpi). Subsequent reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed the molecular mechanisms of HpaGXoocandB. subtilisin the tomato plant, suggesting their synergistic roles in inducing enhanced expression of three expansin genesLeEXP2,LeEXP5, andLeEXP18, which regulate plant cell growth, and two defense-related genesPti4andPti6, which activate the expression of a wide array ofPRgenes and one defense gene,PR-1a.
