Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Isolates increased shoot and root fresh weight and chlorophyll content of Arabidopsis thaliana in vitro.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesize that auxin production or calcium translocation explains plant growth promotion.
- Observation All isolates showed chitinase activity and chitin degradation potential.
- Intervention effect Chitin plus L. elongata seed coating positively affected A. thaliana germination compared with coating without chitin.
- Mechanism The authors conclude chitin-related growth promotion depends on microbial activation with L. elongata as a key species.
