  • BACTERIAL ENDOPHYTE FROM MAIZE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20190159465
    Abstract: Described are isolated strains of bacterial endophytes isolated from maize useful for the treatment of plants and associated methods and formulations. The bacterial endophyte may be applied to plants to promote growth. In one embodiment, the bacterial endophyte is an Enterobacter sp. known as 3D9 and deposited as IDAC strain 190917-01.

  • BACTERIAL ENDOPHYTES FOR BIOCONTROL OF FUNGUS
    Publication number: 20170273309
    Abstract: Bacterial endophytes isolated from maize are described. The endophytes are useful in preventing or inhibiting fungal growth on a plant, in particular preventing or inhibiting dollar spot disease and/or brown spot disease in grass. Genes required for the anti-fungal activity of the bacterial endophytes are also described.

  • BACTERIAL ENDOPHYTES FROM CUCURBIT SPECIES
    Publication number: 20170238552
    Abstract: Bacterial endophytes isolated from cucurbit species are described. The endophytes are useful in preventing or inhibiting the growth of pathogens on a plant, in particular preventing or inhibiting the growth of fungus and/or powdery mildew. The endophytes are also useful for improving the growth characteristics of a plant.

  • Methods and Compositions for Effecting Developmental Gene Expression in Plants
    Publication number: 20140173779
    Abstract: The invention provides nucleotide sequences that can be used in operable association with a promoter to express a polynucleotide sequence of interest in a plant, plant part or plant cell at particular stages of development and/or in specific tissues. and methods for directing developmental stage specific and/or tissue specific expression of a polynucleotide of interest.

  • Methods and Compositions for Modulating Gene Expression in Plants
    Publication number: 20130312136
    Abstract: The invention provides nucleotide sequences that can be used in operable association with a promoter to express a polynucleotide of interest in a plant, plant part or plant cell. Also provided are methods of increasing or decreasing the expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant, plant part or plant cell in response to nitrate, drought and/or rehydration.
