Wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Kazakhstanskaya 10) seedling growth activation by the endophytic 11BM strain of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis Cohn and the involvement of phytohormones in this process were studied. At the concentration used, bacteria enhanced wheat root and shoot growth as compared to control. Biotests demonstrated auxin-, cytokinin-, and gibberellin-like activities of the endophyte, but the result depended on the way of experiment performing. When wheat seeds were treated with the spores of B. subtilis 11BM strain, the concentrations of IAA and ABA increased transiently in the roots and shoots of the seedlings. The involvement of IAA oxidase in the plant response to inoculation with bacteria was shown; it was accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity, which occurred later than auxin accumulation. It was concluded that observed changes in the hormonal status of wheat plants under the influence of the endophytic bacterial strain may be one of the mechanisms for seedling growth stimulation.
