Vegetable cultivation is a promising economic activity, and vegetable consumption is important for human health due to the high nutritional content of vegetables. Vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and several phytochemical compounds. However, the production of vegetables is insufficient to meet the demand of the ever-increasing population. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) facilitate the growth and production of vegetable crops by acquiring nutrients, producing phytohormones, and protecting them from various detrimental effects. In this review, we highlight well-developed and cutting-edge findings focusing on the role of a PGPR-based bioinoculant formulation in enhancing vegetable crop production. We also discuss the role of PGPR in promoting vegetable crop growth and resisting the adverse effects arising from various abiotic (drought, salinity, heat, heavy metals) and biotic (fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and insect pests) stresses.
蔬菜种植是一项有前途的经济活动，由于蔬菜的高营养价值，蔬菜的消费对人类健康很重要。蔬菜富含维生素、矿物质、膳食纤维和多种植物化学物质。然而，蔬菜的产量还不足以满足不断增长的人口的需求。植物促生根际细菌（PGPR）通过获取营养物质、产生植物激素以及保护它们免受各种有害影响来促进蔬菜作物的生长和生产。在这篇综述中，我们重点介绍了已开发和前沿的研究成果，这些成果聚焦于基于 PGPR 的生物接种剂配方在提高蔬菜作物产量方面的作用。我们还讨论了 PGPR 在促进蔬菜作物生长和抵抗各种非生物（干旱、盐度、热、重金属）和生物（真菌、细菌、线虫和害虫）胁迫方面的作用。
