Journal ArticleDOI
Phytostimulatory effect of Azospirillum brasilense wild type and mutant strains altered in IAA production on wheat
TL;DR: The important role of IAA produced by Azospirillum in altering root morphology is confirmed and the power of combining genetic tools and bioassays to elucidate the mechanism of a beneficial Azospiralillum-plant interaction is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of agronomically important crops to inoculation with Azospirillum

TL;DR: The physiological responses of the plant roots to inoculation with Azospirillum are discussed, and field and greenhouse experiments carried out with these bacteria during 1994-2001 in Belgium, Uruguay, Mexico and Israel are reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Azospirillum brasilense indole-3-acetic acid production on inoculated wheat plants
TL;DR: It was found that the introduction of these recombinant ipdC constructs could further improve the plant-growth promoting effect of A. brasilense, and support the possibility of constructing Azospirillum strains with better performance in plant growth promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of inoculation with wild type Azospirillum brasilense and A. irakense strains on development and nitrogen uptake of spring wheat and grain maize
TL;DR: A difference in the ability of both strains to stimulate plant growth and N uptake of wheat and maize was observed, with A. brasilense Sp245 having most effect on spring wheat and A. irakense KBC1 being more effective on grain maize.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of green fluorescent protein to visualize rice root colonization by Azospirillum irakense and A. brasilense.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the two Azospirillum species differ in their mode of rice root colonization, and labelling with fluorescent protein is a useful additional tool for these studies.
