Plants, bacteria and some fungi are known to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) by employing various pathways. Among these pathways, the indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) pathway is the best studied in green plants and plant-associated beneficial microbes. While IAA production circuitry in plants has been studied for decades, little is known regarding the IAA biosynthesis pathway in fungal species. H...

Application of 100 microM aspterric acid (AA), a pollen growth inhibitor, with different concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) results in the recovery of normal pollen development of Arabidopsis thaliana. Treatment with 100 microM AA plus 5 mM IAA significantly induced the normal seed production. Treatment with 100 microM N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA), a polar auxin transport inhibit...

A large portion of indoleacetic acid (IAA)-induced inhibition of excised root tips and virtually all such inhibition of intact roots are the result of IAA-dependent ethylene production. Under certain conditions an additional effect of IAA accounts for a small portion of the inhibition of excised root tips. Ethylene production in response to applied IAA is governed by the level of applied auxin ...

The present study was undertaken to study the statistical optimization of medium components for improved Indole-3acetic acid (IAA) production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Colorimetric analysis showed maximum IAA (132 μg mL-1) in the medium supplemented with tryptophan (0.5 g L-1). The maximum production was achieved after 96 h of incubation. Yeast extract, tryptophan and EDTA were identified as s...

We investigated the involvement of gibberellins (GAs) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the control of longitudinal and cambial growth in current-year shoots of Pinus sylvestris L. Elongating terminal shoots, located at the apex of previous-year (1-year-old) branches in the uppermost whorl on the main stem, were variously decapitated (apical 5 to 10 mm removed), defoliated (all developing needl...

In the last few years, a great emphasis has been placed on phytoremediation of indoor air pollution studies. However, limited work has been addressed to observe the bacteria potential to assist the phytoremediation process of trimethylamine (TMA). In this work, the ability of 4 different bacteria for TMA removal and IAA production were observed. Also, the enhancement of TMA removal efficiency b...

abstract now, it’s completely proved that we can find strains among many strains of each rhizobial group that can also do effective process in plant growth promoting as plant growth hormones production (iaa), in addition of their ability in n2 fixation .therefore, the aim of this research is to determinate the ability of iaa production of some of the indigenous rhizobial strains by two quantita...

Strains of Vibrio spp. isolated from roots of the estuarine grasses Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus produce the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The colorimetric Salkowski assay was used for initial screening of IAA production. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) was then employed to confirm and quantify IAA production. The accuracy of IAA quantification by the Sal...

Evidence that indoleacetic acid (IAA) conjugates are metabolized via enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis to free IAA and that their biological activities are related to the rates at which they are hydrolyzed by the tissue is presented. These conclusions are based on the following observations. Slow but continuous decarboxylation of the IAA moiety of IAA-l-alanine and IAA-glycine occurs when these conju...

The inhibitory effects of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) on elongation growth of pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedling roots were investigated in relation to the effects of these compounds on ethylene production by the root tips. When added to the growth solution both compounds caused a progressively increasing inhibition of growth within the concentration ...
