Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure provides compositions comprising novel endophytes capable of promoting germination endophytes that have a symbiotic relationship with plants. The present disclosure further provides methods of improving seed vitality, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, plant health and yield under both stressed and unstressed environmental conditions, comprising inoculating a seed with the novel endophyte strains and cultivating a plant therefrom.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of increasing resistance to nitrogen stress in at least one agricultural crop, said method comprising mechanically or manually inoculating the seed of the agricultural crop with a composition comprising fungal endophytes capable of causing populations of seeds from at least two different crops to have increased yield under nitrogen stress conditions compared to control seeds, wherein the fungal endophytes are of genus Sarocladium and are deposited under IDAC 200312-05. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the agricultural crop is selected from the group consisting of cereal, pulse, and canola. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the crop is a cereal. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the crop is wheat.
