Presenting comprehensive, state-of-the-art information on plant growth regulators (PGRs), this unique reference details the various physiological responses in plants caused by microbially derived phytohormones - examining the microbial synthesis of the five primary classes of plant hormones.
Exploring novel methods for improving symbiotic associations vital for plant growth and development, Phytohormones in Soils describes the diverse community of metabolically active soil microorganisms that carry out biochemical transformations ... delineates the potential agricultural and economic advantages of manipulating microbial communities in the rhizosphere ... discusses the metabolism of phytohormones produced by microorganisms ... investigates how PGRs participate in the hormonal regulation of plant growth ... considers the success of precursor-inoculum interactions ... suggests possible directions for future research ... and more.
Exhaustively referenced, furnishing over 2250 citations to key sources in the literature, Phytohormones in Soils is an invaluable resource for soil scientists, plant physiologists and pathologists, microbiologists, botanists, horticulturists, rhizosphere ecologists, and researchers in the plant growth regulatory industry, as well as upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
A comprehensive presentation on microbial production of the primary classes of plant hormones and their effects on plant growth and development. An introductory chapter that provides an overview of microorganism-plant interactions is followed by separate chapters on each of the major plant hormones: auxins, gibberelins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic. For each of the five classes of hormones, the chapters provide a historical review of their discovery, physiological actions, biochemistry, biosynthesis and metabolism in plants and rhizosphere microorganisms, modes of action, production in pure culture and in soil, role in pathogenesis, and the physiological effects of microbially derived PGRs.
