Isolated Complex Endophyte Compositions and Methods for Improved Plant Traits

摘要

This invention relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a plant by associating the plant with a complex endophyte comprising a host fungus further comprising a component bacterium, including benefits to a plant derived from a seed or other plant element treated with a complex endophyte. For example, this invention provides purified complex endophytes, purified complex endophyte components such as bacteria or fungi, synthetic combinations comprising said complex endophytes and/or components, and methods of making and using the same.

主权项

1. A synthetic composition, comprising a plant element heterologously associated with a complex endophyte, wherein said complex endophyte is capable of providing a trait of agronomic importance to said plant element.
