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 will promote root growth.
