Native bacterial endophytes promote host growth in a species-specific manner; phytohormone manipulations do not result in common growth responses.
<h4>Background</h4>All plants in nature harbor a diverse community of endophytic bacteria which can positively affect host plant growth. Changes in plant growth frequently reflect alterations in phytohormone homoeostasis by plant-growth-promoting (PGP) rhizobacteria which can decrease et...
