Abstract: The disclosure provides materials and methods for conferring improved plant traits or benefits on plants. The materials can include a formulation comprising an exogenous endophytic bacterial population, which can be disposed on an exterior surface of a seed or seedling, typically in an amount effective to colonize the plant. The formulations can include at least one member selected from the group consisting of an agriculturally compatible carrier, a tackifier, a microbial stabilizer, a fungicide, an antibacterial agent, an herbicide, a nematicide, an insecticide, a plant growth regulator, a rodenticide, and a nutrient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides capable of modifying the C8-atom of deoxynivalenol and methods (e.g., for detoxifying mycotoxins) based thereon. The present invention further relates to compositions, kits, transgenic plants, transgenic seeds, transgenic pollen grains, foodstuff, intermediate foodstuff; fodder, intermediate fodder; feed, intermediate feed; additive (e.g., foodstuff-, fodder- or feed additive), intermediate additive (e.g., foodstuff-, fodder- or feed intermediate additive); detoxifying agent, intermediate detoxifying agent; nutritional supplement, intermediate nutritional supplement, prebiotic, intermediate prebiotic and/or mixture/s thereof comprising one or more of the polypeptides capable of modifying the C8-atom of deoxynivalenol.

Abstract: This application relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a seed, seedling or plant by producing seeds that are internally colonized with endophytes. Beneficial endophytes with particular characteristics are provided. These may be used in the methods described to provide a benefit to a seed, seedling or plant.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for producing plant seed containing endophytic microorganisms characterised in by the following steps: contacting a flowering plant with a preparation of endophytic microorganisms, whereby the endophytic microorganisms enter the plant via the flowers and are conveyed to seed produced by the plant; and obtaining the plant seed containing endophytic microorganisms from the plant.
