O_LISustainable crop production demands solutions to reduce the overuse of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, and plant-growth-promoting bacteria offer a promising strategy by enhancing nutrients acquisition. This study investigated ability of a non-diazotrophic bacterium, Enterobacter sp. SA187 (SA187), in enhancing Arabidopsis growth under low nitrate conditions and the underlying mechanisms. C_LIO_LIArabidopsis seedlings were grown under different nitrate concentrations with or without SA187 inoculation. Growth traits were quantified alongside shoot and root nitrate and total nitrogen contents, and C:N ratios. Transcriptomic profiling (RNA-seq) and qRT-PCR were used to assess modified gene expression. Functional validation was conducted using ethylene-insensitive (ein2-1) and high-affinity nitrate transporter (HATS) mutants (nrt2.5, nrt2.6). C_LIO_LISA187 significantly enhanced fresh weight, primary root length, and lateral root density under low nitrate, with benefits increasing as nitrate availability decreased. SA187 improved nitrate accumulation and shoot nitrogen allocation, reducing shoot C:N ratios. SA187 regulated expression of HATS and hormone-responsive genes. The growth-promoting effects were abolished in ein2-1, nrt2.5, and nrt2.6 mutants, and SA187-induced regulation of NRT2.5 occurred downstream of ethylene signaling, while NRT2.6 was partly ethylene-independent. C_LIO_LISA187 promotes growth under low nitrate possibly through ethylene-mediated and HATS-dependent reprogramming of nitrate accumulation and nitrogen allocation, supporting its use as a microbial solution for low-input agriculture.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
