Summary: | Lidstrom and Chistoserdova comment on a set of studies by Koenig et al, in which they present an important step in understanding the molecular basis of Methylobacterium-plant interactions. They show that four different Methylobacterium strains representing leaf isolates and a type M. extorquens strain all produce the cytokinin trans-zeatin at low levels in pure culture and excrete it into the culture medium. |
