Objectives of the Iesults and Conclusions
- Production of IAA by Acinetobacter spp. isolated from rhizosphere of wheat.
- Purification and chemical analysis of produced IAA.
- To check the IAA production is chromosomal or plasmid encoded.
- Use of the Acinetobacter spp. as bioinoculum.
Results and Conclusions
- This is the first report on plasmid encoded IAA production in the genus Acinetobacter. It clears the role ofAcinetobacter in wheat rhizosphere.
- It was proved that Acinetobacter has symbiotic interaction with wheat plant and is able to stimulate growth of wheat plant.
Applications of the Patent
- Acinetobacter spp. can be used as a competent bioinoculum.
- It has ability to stimulate growth of wheat as well as many crop plants and can be successfully used as effective biofertilizer.
