Lipoxygenase (LOX) activity has been identified consistently during pathogen-induced defense responses. Here we report the involvement of a specific leaf LOX gene of potato (Solanum tuberosum), designated POTLX-3 (GenBank/EMBL accession no. U60202), in defense responses against pathogens. The sequence of POTLX-3 does not match any other LOX genes of potato and has the greatest match to a tobacc...

Corn productivity in Indonesia is still relatively low compared with other countries. Therefore, it necessary to increase the of corn by using rhizobacteria, which have multiple traits. This study was conducted obtain indigenous rhizobacteria Bali that traits, can produce indoleacetic acid (IAA), fix nitrogen from atmosphere, siderophores, colonize roots, seed germination, and promote growth co...
