Applications of BBa_K515100

  • The enzymatic reactions of the IAM pathway produce indole-3 acetic acid (IAA) which is an important phytohormone.
  • Many Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria produce IAA
  • Analogues of phytohormones like α-Naphthaleneacetic acid are usually found in rooting powders. Therefore, if we were to express IAA in bacteria in a controlled fashion we could increase root growth.
  • Increased root growth could help maintain top soil.
  • Evidence has shown that using IAA on cotton can increase yields.
