Bacterial endophytes may be important for plant health and other ecologically relevant
functions of poplar trees. The composition of endophytic bacteria colonizing the aerial parts …

The phylogenetic relationships of 17 Bacillus strains isolated from plants and soil were
determined from partial sequences of genes encoding 16S rRNA, gyraseA (gyrA) and the …

Despite many achievements in modern agriculture, food crop production continues to be
plagued by disease-causing pathogens and pests. In many cases, chemical pesticides …

Eighty‐seven culturable endophytic bacterial isolates in 19 genera were obtained from
coffee plants collected in Colombia (n= 67), Hawaii (n= 17), and Mexico (n= 3). Both Gram …

A greenhouse experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of plant growth-promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPR) on nodulation, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and growth of the …

This paper originates from an address at the 8th International Symposium on Nitrogen
Fixation with Non-Legumes, Sydney, NSW, December 2000 Currently proposed means of …

Fusarium verticillioides is a very important genus from the aspects of plant disease, cereal
production, and food safety. A major concern of this species is its mycotoxins, which are …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been used successfully as a biopesticide for more than 60
years. More recently, genes encoding their toxins have been used to transform plants and …

In order to study the species composition of endophytes from wheat healthy plants in
Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) and to determine their infection frequencies from leaves …

The concept of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria is now well established, both for growth
promotion and biocontrol. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were first defined by …
