Module 2: Auxin Xpress
Auxin is a plant growth hormone which is expressed in several soil bacteria. We have taken the genes encoding the auxin-producing pathway from Pseudomonas savastanoi and expressed them in Escherichia coli. Following chemotaxis towards the roots and uptake by the Phyto Route module, auxin expression in the root will promote root growth.
