Resumen
[EN] Microbial plant biostimulants (MPBs) are capable of improving the productivity and quality of crops by activating plant
physiological and molecular processes, representing an efficient tool in sustainable agriculture. Through phytohormone
production, MPBs are capable of regulating plant physiological processes, increasing the productivity and quality of crops,
in addition to being an efficient alternative in the industrial production of phytohormones. Bacillus is a bacterial genus
with various species on the market being used as biopesticides, due to their ability to produce antimicrobial, nematicidal
and insecticidal compounds. The capability of Bacillus species to protect plants against pests and/or pathogens also entails
the triggering or increase of plant defense responses. Furthermore, a relevant number of species from the genus Bacillus
provoke plant growth promotion by different mechanisms such as increasing the tolerance of their host plants under abiotic
stress conditions or improving plant nutrition. In several cases, the plant response is mediated by the bacterial production
of phytohormones. In the present work, all studies from recent decades where the production of phytohormones by Bacillus
species are reported, highlighting their role in host plants and the mechanisms by which they are capable of increasing plant
growth, promoting their development, and improving their response to different stresses.
