Abstract

The evaluation of endophytic actinomycetes diversity, growth-promoting strain effects on cauliflower seeds germination, and in vitro organogenesis are the objectives in this study. Moreover, 15 strains from 125 isolates were determined to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), where majority was obtained from roots (66.67%), followed by from branches (26.67%) and leaves (6.67%). Specifically, Jatropha sp. is a plant species with the most endophytic actinomycetes content compared to others. In addition, all endophytic Streptomyces strains were screened based on IAA production ability in vitro on yeast extract-malt extract broth (YMG) broth medium. The results showed the tendency for one strain with code Streptomyces sp. KMR-1E to generate a maximum IAA isolate from Cinnamomun sp. plant. Furthermore, the molecular taxonomy and phylogenetic analysis were recreated from 16S rRNA gene sequences, which attributed the KMR-1E to genus Streptomyces. Meanwhile, plant growth promotion was evaluated under in vitro condition. This exposed the individual ability to enhance the shoot and root length of cauliflowers. The untreated cultures with a strain free agar block was used as control. © 2021 Universiti Putra Malaysia. All rights reserved.
