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 …

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 …

The constant struggle between plants and microbes has driven the evolution of multiple
defense strategies in the host as well as offense strategies in the pathogen. To defend …

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 …

Beneficial microorganisms are widely used in agriculture for control of plant pathogens, but
a lack of efficacy and safety information has limited the exploitation of multiple promising …

Some strains of the foliar pathogen Pseudomonas syringae are adapted for growth and
survival on leaf surfaces and in the leaf interior. Global transcriptome profiling was used to …

The capacity to produce the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is widespread among
bacteria that inhabit diverse environments such as soils, fresh and marine waters, and plant …

An extraordinary progress has been made over the last two decades on understanding the
components and mechanisms governing plant innate immunity. After detection of a …
