...Similarly to what was observed in several grasses and cereals (Okon and Kapulnik, 1986), inoculation with A. brasilense was found to promote root hair formation of bean or alfalfa (Itzigsohn et al., 1993; Burdman et al., 1996)....

...Moreover, in several other studies the increased plant growth observed after inoculation with Azospirillum was proposed to be due to bacterial phytohormone production (Okon and Kapulnik, 1986; Harari et al., 1988)....

...Bacterial phytohormone production is assumed to cause the detected changes in root morphology after Azospirillum inoculation, which in turn may be related to enhanced mineral uptake [35,36,187]....

...Since pectin is a major constituent of the primary cell wall and middle lamellae, and low levels of pectinolytic and cellulolytic activities have been detected in Azospirillum cultures, the bacteria may eventually enter the root cortex intercellular spaces via enzymatic degradation of host cell wall middle lamellae [32,36,47]....

...Azospirillum, for instance, is generally regarded as being a rhizosphere bacterium that colonizes mainly the elongation and root hair zones of roots (Okon and Kapulnik, 1986; Döbereinner et al., 1995b; Vande Broek et al., 1998; Bashan and Holguin, 1995)....
