Abstract

Aminosiklopropan karboksilat deaminaze (ACCD) enzimi içeren bitki gelişimini teşvik eden bakteriler, özellikle farklı
çevresel stres koşullarını takiben bitki etilen düzeyini azaltarak bitki büyüme ve gelişmesine katkı sağlamaktadır. Toprak
bakterilerinde belirlenen bu enzimin bitki-bakteri birlikteliğinde önemli rol oynadığı ileri sürülmektedir. Bu durumda ACC
deaminaze içeren bakteri bitki etilen düzeyini azaltabilirse, uygulama yapılmış bitkilerde stresin engelleyici etkisine karşı koruma
sağlanabilecektir. Etilen düzeyinin azalması farklı çevresel streslere karşı bitkilerin daha dayanıklı olmasına imkan sağlamaktadır.
Bu derlemede farklı stres çeşitleri, moleküler düzeyde birçok mekanizma ile bitkisel gelişmeyi engelleyen etilen biyosentezi
üzerinde durularak tartışılmıştır. ACC deaminaze içeren bitki gelişmesini teşvik edici bakteri uygulamalarının tarımdaki faydaları
kanıtlanabilen ve sürdürülebilir bitki üretimi için güvenli güçlü bir adım olabilecektir. Mevcut senaryoya göre ACC deaminaze
aktivitesi gösteren bitki gelişimini teşvik edici bakterilerin bitkisel etilenin düzenlenmesinde hayati önem taşımaktadır.
