An investigation was carried out to isolate bacterial endophytes from small millets that have the ability to produce phytohormones like indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA), cytokinin and1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. Thirty two bacterial endophytes are isolated from small millets and among thirty two isolates, twenty isolates produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the range of μg to μg and the isolate KMS1 produced significantly highest concentration of IAA ( μg) followed by FMR3 (). | Phytohormone production and drought tolerance activity of bacterial endophytes isolated from small millets
