Root colonizing bacteria that exert beneficial effects on plant growth have been defined as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The present study aimed to the production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore in WR-W2 and MR-AI strains under in vitro condition. Synthesis of IAA and siderophore was checked in presence of different carbon sources in JNFb medium amended with L-tryp...

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...

We investigated indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production by 57 pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae and related species. Most of those analyzed produced IAA, especially in the presence of tryptophan. Eight strains produced high IAA concentrations in the absence of Trp. The iaaM and iaaH genes of P. savastanoi pv. savastanoi were detected in a limited number of strains only, including the eight above-...

The Root nodules of Cajanus Cajan plant produced high amount of (35.56 ug/gm) of Indole acetic acid from Hg plants as compared to the N plant. The IAA was measured maximum from Rhizobium spp. of C.cajan plant at 24h, when the bacteria reached the stationary phase of growth. Mannitol & KNO3 preferred to be a good carbon and nitrogen source for IAA production in all N, Ng, H & Hg Rhizobium strain...

Twenty-seven endophytic actinomycete strains were isolated from five spontaneous plants well adapted to the poor sandy soil and arid climatic conditions of the Algerian Sahara. Morphological and chemotaxonomical analysis indicated that twenty-two isolates belonged to the Streptomyces genus and the remaining five were nonStreptomyces. All endophytic strains were screened for their ability to pro...

The fruit of melting-flesh peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) cultivars produce high levels of ethylene caused by high expression of PpACS1 (an isogene of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase), resulting in rapid fruit softening at the late-ripening stage. In contrast, the fruit of stony hard peach cultivars do not soften and produce little ethylene due to low expression of PpACS1. To e...

Five bacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. fluorescens subgroup G strain 2, P. marginalis, P. putida subgroup B strain 1 and P. syringae strain 1) and three fungi (Penicillium brevicompactum, P. solitum strain 1 and Trichoderma atroviride) were evaluated to determine their promoting effect on the growth of mature healthy tomato plants grown under hydroponic conditions. P. putida and T. atroviri...

Soil bacteria belonging to the genus Azotobacter, Pantoea and some unidentified soil isolates were tested in vitro for phytohormone production under laboratory and soil conditions. The German wheat variety Munk was inoculated by several soil bacteria with exogenously applied hormones (IAA, 2,4-D) and a flavonoid (naringenin) with a half of the amount of recommended doses of fertilizers under gr...

The seasonal change of free abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and their relationship with the cambial activity in Eucommia ulmoides trees were investigated by ABA and IAA immunolocalization using primary polyclonal and rhodamine-red fluorescing secondary antibodies, ABA and IAA quantification using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and systematic monitoring of vasc...
