Abstract

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve plant productivity and stress resistance. The mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interactions include the modulation of plant hormone status. The Novosphingobium sp. strain P6W was previously described as the bacterium capable of abscisic acid (ABA) degradation, and its inoculation decreased ABA concentrations in planta. The metabolic pathway for the ABA degradation in bacteria is still unknown. Here we present transcriptome data of Novosphingobium sp. P6W grown in the medium supplemented with ABA or fructose as the carbon source. Cleaned FASTQ files for the RNA-seq libraries are deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA, Identifier: SRP189498) and have been assigned BioProject accession PRJNA529223.
