Indole 3 Acetic Acid

The carbamate insecticide carbofuran (2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl-7-N-methyl carbamate) and three of its metabolites (7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (III), 3,7-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (IV), and 3-keto-7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (V)) stimulated growth in the pea stem segment assay in the presence, but not absence, of a low concentration of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The metabolites were more active than carbofuran itself. The synergistic effect on growth was specific with IAA since it was not observed in the presence of other auxins.Metabolites III, IV, and V and, to a lesser degree, carbofuran were found to be inhibitory to IAA degradation catalyzed by pea stem tissue or purified horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7). Comparison of the relative activities of the compounds in the inhibition of IAA degradation and in the promotion of plant growth suggests a causal relationship. The implication is that carbofuran may promote plant growth through the inhibitory action of its metabolites on enzymic breakdown of IAA, thus preserving a critical level of IAA required for growth promotion.

Early seedling root growth of the nonlegumes canola (Brassica campestris cv. Tobin, Brassica napus cv. Westar) and lettuce (Lactuca saliva cv. Grand Rapids) was significantly promoted by inoculation of seeds with certain strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum, including nitrogen- and nonnitrogen-fixing derivatives under gnotobiotic conditions. The growfh-promotive effect appears to be direct, with possible involvement of the plant growth regulators indole-3-acetic acid and cytokinin. Auxotrophic Rhizobium mutants requiring tryptophan or adenosine (precursors for indole-3-acetic acid and cytokinin synthesis, respectively) did not promote growth to the extent of the parent strain. The findings of this study demonstrate a new facet of the Rhizobium–plant relationship and that Rhizobium leguminosarum can be considered a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR).Key words: Rhizobium, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, PGPR, indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, roots, auxotrophic mutants.

Burkholderia Phytofirmans Psjn

Although not fully understood, molecular communication in the rhizosphere plays an important role regulating traits involved in plant–bacteria association. Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN is a well-known plant-growth-promoting bacterium, which establishes rhizospheric and endophytic colonization in different plants. A competent colonization is essential for plant-growth-promoting effects produced by bacteria. Using appropriate mutant strains of B. phytofirmans, we obtained evidence for the importance of N-acyl homoserine lactone-mediated (quorum sensing) cell-to-cell communication in efficient colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana plants and the establishment of a beneficial interaction. We also observed that bacterial degradation of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) plays a key role in plant-growth-promoting traits and is necessary for efficient rhizosphere colonization. Wildtype B. phytofirmans but not the iacC mutant in IAA mineralization is able to restore promotion effects in roots of A. thaliana in the presence of exogenously added IAA, indicating the importance of this trait for promoting primary root length. Using a transgenic A. thaliana line with suppressed auxin signaling (miR393) and analyzing the expression of auxin receptors in wild-type inoculated plants, we provide evidence that auxin signaling in plants is necessary for the growth promotion effects produced by B. phytofirmans. The interplay between ethylene and auxin signaling was also confirmed by the response of the plant to a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase bacterial mutant strain.

ABSTRACTThe solubilization and mineralization of phosphorus by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is one of the most important bacterial physiological characteristics in the soil biogeochemical cycle. Through the isolation and screening of microorganisms in the rhizosphere soil of intercropped soybean in Ya’an, Renshou and Chongzhou, 9 PSBs with high phosphorus solubilizing ability were identified. It mainly belongs to Bacillus and Pseudomonas. The phosphate solubility of Bacillus aryabhattai B8W22 is as high as 388.62 µg·mL-1. The physiological and biochemical characteristics of each strain showed that it can secrete organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid lactic acid and pyruvic acid. In addition, all strains can produce indole acetic acid and siderophores that promote plant growth. Seed germination experiments also showed that the phosphorus solubilizing bacteria isolated in this research have a certain ability to promote plant growth.IMPRTANCEBacillus aryabhattai from rhizosphere soil of intercropped soybean has high phosphate-solubilizing ability, could produce indole acetic acid and siderophores that promote plant growth, and are of great significance in reducing the application of chemical phosphate fertilizers and promoting sustainable agricultural development.

Background: It is assumed that plant growth regulators produced by beneficial bacterial species could also influence plant growth. IAA is a major plant growth regulator responsible for stimulation of plant growth. There are several microorganisms which are naturally responsible for L- tryptophan metabolism. Methods: In total, 56 indigenous morphologically distinct isolates from rice roots were selected and subsequently characterized with biochemical tests, 16S rRNA sequencing and plant growth promoting activities. Pseudomonas fluorescens RE1 (GenBank: MF102882.1) and RE17 (GenBank: MF103672.1) endophytes resulted in better PGP activity against the other 54 isolates. Both endophytes were tested to screen indole-3-acetic acid production ability in pure culture conditions with L-tryptophan at 0, 50, 100, 200 and 500µg/ml concentrations. Results: P. fluorescens RE1 was recorded efficient for indole production in comparison to P. fluorescens RE17 at various L-tryptophan concentrations. P. fluorescens RE1 was shown to produce between 0.8 µg/ml and 11.5µg/ml of indole at various tryptophan concentrations, while RE17 produced between 1.2µg/ml and 10.2µg/ml. At 200 and 500µg/ml tryptophan concentration, P. fluorescens RE17 produced 7.4pmol/ml and 9.3pmol/ml IAA, respectively.  Conclusions: Inoculation of maize seed with P. fluorescens RE1 and RE17 showed a significantly higher level of IAA production in comparison to non-inoculated seeds. Current study outcomes proved that plant growth regulators produced by Pseudomonas species could also play a critical role in plant growth promotion.
