During the process of domestication, plants undergo changes in certain traits that make them more amenable to humans and agriculture such as larger seeds, larger fruits, a compact growth habit, and so on.
New research from an Iowa State University scientist identifies a genetic mechanism that governs growth and drought tolerance in plants, a development that could lead to better performing traits in crops.
However, there is increasing recognition that the health and utility of plants can be greatly enhanced by improving below - ground traits such as root growth.
From these unique UM270 genes, a set of 192 CDSs was found to be involved in signaling, rhizosphere colonization and competence, highlighted as important traits to achieve an effective biocontrol and plant growth promotion.
The main mechanisms attributed for biocontrol include: synthesis of secondary metabolites, such as 2,4 - diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4 - DAPG), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), pyoluteorin, pyrrolnitrin, phenazines, cyclic lipopeptides (CLP) and siderophores (6); production of phytohormones, such as auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins; as well as nutrient solubilization traits (nitrogen, phosphorous, iron), which directly favors plant growth and health (7).
