description

Abstract Endophytic bacteria are well known in modern microbiology. Their role is well recognized, although there are lots of questions to answer. According to the knowledge that we actually possess it is possible to use them as components of biocide preparations used in plant growing. Between different features of endophytic bacteria, those able to produce IAA are very interesting in a context of agricultural and horticultural plant production. However, it is very important to precisely describe all the features of IAA producers, because there is a thin border between beneficial and pathogenic mode of action. For this reason it is crucial to recognize pathways involved in IAA production and the whole background of plant-bacteria interactions. The accurate research will allow for recognition of those endophytic bacteria strains which would be useful in practical use.
