Piriformospora indica, which is an endophytic fungus that grows on various media in the absence of a host, emits plant growth promoting volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Kaefer medium (KF) has been shown to be most suitable for P. indica growth; however, different may differentially affect fungal metabolism turn influence VOC profiles indica. To date, how VOCs emitted from cultured not well ch...

The Present study summarizes the biosynthesis, characterization and optimization of auxins by Piriformospora indica and its effect on the growth of Solanum melongena L. cultivars. The biosynthesis of auxins was greatly influenced by the addition of tryptophan. Based on the data obtained from traditional one factor at a time method, optimization was carried out using the response surface methodo...
