growth stimulation

Effect of Azospirillum palustre B2 lipopolysaccharide on wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.)

Lipopolysaccharide is the main structural component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, which can also be a part of extracellular polymeric substances. Lipopolysaccharides of bacteria that stimulate the growth and development of plants belong to the group of molecules that form a microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP). These glycoconjugates of both symbiotic and phytopathogenic bacteria induce the activation of immune responses in plants.
