considering great medicinal value of hyssopus officinalis l. and possibility of its mass production through in vitro culture, two individual experiments was conducted. effect of various concentrations (0, 2.2, 4.4 and 11 µmol) of tdz and bap in combination with 1 µmol of iaa on direct regeneration from nodal explants were assessed. significant difference between treatments was observed (p≤ 0.01...

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...

Auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was detected in marine sediments for the first time using HPLC and immunological identification methods. The IAA content of the interstitial water In sediments varied, in the order of I O ' ~ to 1 0 ~ m01 I ' , with sampling season and location. The content in seawater was much lower than that of sediments, ca 10-" to 10-l0 1no1 l-' Considerable amounts of IAA w...

Production of nitric oxide (NO) and the presence of NO metabolism genes, nitrous oxide reductase (nosZ), nitrous oxide reductase regulator (nosR) and nitric oxide reductase (norB) were identified in the plant-associated bacterium (PAB) Azospirillum brasilense SM. NO presence was confirmed in all overexpressing strains, while improvement in the plant growth response of these strains was mediated...

Pathogenic strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines which cause hypertrophy of leaf cells of susceptible soybean cultivars and nonpathogenic strains which do not cause hypertrophy were compared for their ability to produce indole compounds, including the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in liquid media with or without supplementation with l-tryptophan. Several additional strains o...

Root induction by auxins is still not well understood at the molecular level. In this study a system has been devised which distinguishes between the two active auxins indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). IBA, but not IAA, efficiently induced adventitious rooting in Arabidopsis stem segments at a concentration of 10 microM. In wild-type plants, roots formed exclusively ou...

Current agriculture is based on external fertilizers that jeopardize soil fertility. Alternative fertilization systems might come from the use of soil-borne bacteria with plant growth enhancing ability. Here, six bacterial strains that produce varying concentrations of indole acetic acid (IAA) were tested individually and in consortia for plant growth promotion and fitness-related traits of Cic...

This study measured the relations between tryptophan production, the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the metabolism and accumulation of starch during synthetic mutualism between the microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana and the microalgae growth-promoting bacteria Azospirillum brasilense, created by co-immobilization in alginate beads. Experiments used two wild-type A. brasilense strains...

Edaravone (EDA) is clinically used for treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Japan and China due to its potent free radical-scavenging effect. However, it has yet to be determined whether EDA can attenuate iodoacetic acid- (IAA-) induced neuronal death in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the effect of EDA on damage of IAA-induced primary cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) and its pos...

Proving of rhizobia’s other abilities in spite of Nitrogen fixation ability and considering these bacteria as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), researching tasks in this field have increased. Now, it’s completely proved that we can find such strains among many more strains of each rhizobial group that can also do effective process in plant growth promoting as plant growth hormones pr...
