Phytohormone Biosynthesis by Indigenous Rhizobacteria of Vegetable Crops in a Semi-arid Agro-environment

This      study      discovered      indigenous      rhizobacteria (A. brasiliense,  A. chrocoocum,  P. stutzeri  and  P. putida)  from the  rhizosphere  of  vegetable crops in semi-arid agro-zone of Rajasthan desert capable of synthesizing phytohormone. This study   will provide baseline information on the phytohormone biosynthesis    profile    of    t he    isolates    and    the phytohormone produced can be transformed into commercial bio-formulations  for  use  as  promising  growth  promoters  for achieving  maximum  sustainability  and  productivity  of vegetable  crops  in  the  study  area.  Thus,  the  biotechnology employed  can  be  adopted  for  evaluating  phytohormone biosynthesis  potentials  of  indigenous  rhizobacteria  in  other regions with related abiotic stress challenges.
