Erwinia herbicola 299R produces large quantities of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in culture media supplemented with L-tryptophan. To assess the contribution of IAA production to epiphytic fitness, the population dynamics of the wild-type strain and an IAA-deficient mutant of this strain on leaves were studied. Strain 299XYLE, an isogenic IAA-deficient mutant of strain 299R, was constructed by ins...

The role of potassium (K(+)) and calcium (Ca(2+)) in the regulation of plant growth and development is complex and needs a diverse range of physiological studies. Both elements are essential for satisfactory crop production. Here, the effects of K(+) and Ca(2+) ions on endogenous growth and growth in the presence of either indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or fusicoccin (FC) were studied in maize (Zea...

Auxins are the key players in plant growth development involving leaf formation, phototropism, root, fruit and embryo development. Auxin/Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Aux/IAA) are early auxin response genes noted as transcriptional repressors in plant auxin signaling. However, many studies focus on Aux/ARF gene families and much less is known about the Aux/IAA gene family in Brassica rapa (B. rapa). He...

During indoleacetic acid (IAA) oxidation by horseradish peroxidase the water soluble model polyene, crocin, is bleached. IAA-oxidation and crocin bleaching are stimulated at acidic pH as well as by the monophenol p-hydroxyacetophenone. IAA oxidation and crocin bleaching are neither influenced by catalase or superoxide dismutase nor by different OH-radical scavengers, whereas both ascorbate and ...

acid (IPyA) pathway and indole-3-acetamide pathway] and a Trp-independent pathway.i]'`6) Among them, IPyA pathway has been suggested to be the major synthetic pathway for IAA in IAAoverproducingAzospirillum. IAA produced by PGPR probably plays an essential role in the plant-microbe interactions, However, regulatory mechanisms for IAA production in the bacteria have not yet been identified. In t...

Licorice root is known to possess various bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Glycyrrhizin, a triterpene compound, is the most abundant constituent of dried licorice root. However, high intake or long-term consumption of glycyrrhizin causes several side effects, such as hypertension, hypertensive encephalopathy, and hypokalemia. Therefore, finding additional activ...

The formation and hydrolysis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) conjugates represent a potentially important means for plants to regulate IAA levels and thereby auxin responses. The identification and characterization of mutants defective in these processes is advancing the understanding of auxin regulation and response. Here we report the isolation and characterization of the Arabidopsis iar4 mutan...

RATIONALE Though it is rare, isolated interrupted aortic arch (IAA) could lead to hypertension. Surgical repair is the only effective curative method to treat IAA conditions and patients with IAA can hardly survive to adulthood with medication alone. We report an IAA case that of a 45-year-old male patient who survived for 45 years without surgical treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS A 45-year-old ma...

Seedings of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Kharkov MC 22) were grown at 24 C (unhardened) and 4 C (hardened). Indoleacetic acid (IAA) was added to excised coleoptile segments after lengthy incubation and their responses were determined by photometric auxanometry at both 25 C and 5 C. The segments' rates of uptake of (14)CIAA were also compared at both temperatures. Cold hardening had no...

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...
