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...

APETALA2/Ethylene-Responsive Factor (AP2/ERF) gene family is plant specific transcription factor. It plays critical roles in development process, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and responses to plant hormones. However, limited data are available on the contributions of AP2/ERF gene family in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). In the present study, 121 HvAP2/ERF genes in barley were identif...

Abstract The increasing demand for agricultural products can be met by maximizing production potential and reducing crop losses caused common plant-parasitic nematodes. Chemical-based nematode management is a successful technique mitigating damage yield pests; however, inappropriate irresponsible application of synthetic pesticides has negative impacts on fauna, bioflora, natural enemies such a...

Phytohormones exhibit a wide range of chemical structures, though they primarily originate from three key metabolic precursors: amino acids, isoprenoids, and lipids. Specific such as tryptophan, methionine, phenylalanine, arginine, contribute to the production various phytohormones, including auxins, melatonin, ethylene, salicylic acid, polyamines. Isoprenoids are foundation five phytohormone c...

Stamens are the plant male reproductive organs essential for plant fertility. Proper development of stamens is modulated by environmental cues and endogenous hormone signals. Deficiencies in biosynthesis or perception of the phytohormone jasmonate (JA) attenuate stamen development, disrupt male fertility, and abolish seed production in Arabidopsis thaliana. This study revealed that JA-mediated ...
