ENHANCEMENT OF BIOMASS AND PRODUCTIVITY IN GRASSES

摘要

The invention provides a synthetic combination of a Sebacina vermifera endophyte and a host grass plant, wherein the endophyte reproduces asexually and enhances the agronomic characteristics of the host plant. Methods for inoculating the host plant with the endophyte, for propagating the host-endophyte combination, and for detecting the presence of the endophyte and of its metabolites within a host plant are also described.
