productivity. Due to fluctuating environmental conditions, plants encounter difficulties in …

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 …

Bacterial root endophytes reside in a vast number of plant species as part of their root
microbiome, with some being shown to positively influence plant growth. Endophyte …

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 …

The ability to measure plant hormones quantitatively is important as plant hormones
regulate plant growth, development and response to biotic and abiotic cues. In this protocol …

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 secondary metabolites are unique sources for pharmaceuticals, food additives, flavors,
