Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to new methods of selecting and breeding organisms, in particular organisms which exhibit symbiotic behavior with symbionts such as fungal endophytes or epiphytes or bacterial microbiome in plants, and to new organisms and symbiota developed thereby. More particularly, the present invention provides artificial seeds comprising symbiota, and methods for preparing and using such artificial seeds, as well as plants, plant seeds and other plant parts derived from artificial seeds or symbiont-containing plants of the present invention.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The claims defining the invention are as follows: 1. An artificial seed, comprising: a plant embryo inoculated with one or more symbionts and subsequently coated with a first coating to encapsulate the embryo. 2. The artificial seed according to claim 1 , wherein said artificial seed is further coated with a second coating layer. 3. The artificial seed according to claim 2 , wherein said second coating layer includes added nutrients. 4. The artificial seed according to claim 2 , wherein said second coating layer is a nutrient deprived layer. 5. The artificial seed according to claim 1 , wherein the embryo is from a plant selected from the group consisting of grasses and legumes. 6. The artificial seed according to claim 1 , wherein the symbiont is a fungal endophyte. 7. The artificial seed according to claim 1 , wherein the embryo is treated to create one or more points of entry for the symbiont. 8. The artificial seed according to claim 1 , wherein the first coating comprises calcium alginate.
