Numerous studies have reported the stimulation of plant growth following inoculation with an
IAA-producing PGPB. However, the specific mode of IAA production by the PGPB is rarely …

Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an important phytohormone with the capacity to control
plant development in both beneficial and deleterious ways. The ability to synthesize IAA is …

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are diverse, naturally occurring bacteria that
establish a close association with plant roots and promote the growth and immunity of …

Plant growth and response to environmental cues are largely governed by phytohormones.
The plant hormones ethylene, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid (SA) play a central role in the …

Until recently, most studies on the role of hormones in plant-pathogen interactions focused
on salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). It is now clear that pathogen …

Microbial synthesis of the phytohormone auxin has been known for a long time. This
property is best documented for bacteria that interact with plants because bacterial auxin …

Diverse bacterial species possess the ability to produce the auxin phytohormone indole-3-
acetic acid (IAA). Different biosynthesis pathways have been identified and redundancy for …

Plant pathogens have evolved several strategies to manipulate the biology of their hosts to
facilitate colonization, growth to high levels in plant tissue, and production of disease. One of …

Plant hormones play important roles in regulating developmental processes and signalling
networks involved in plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Salicylic …

Although not fully understood, molecular communication in the rhizosphere plays an
important role regulating traits involved in plant–bacteria association. Burkholderia …
