In natural ecosystems, plants associate with numerous microbes that play a crucial role in
sustaining their growth and health on disturbed and nutrient-poor soils. The West Chilcotin …

Abstract The West Chilcotin region in British Columbia, Canada is located in the Sub-Boreal
zone characterized by dry and weakly developed soils lacking essential plant nutrients …

Abstract The West Chilcotin is a remote region located in the Sub-Boreal Pine-Spruce
biogeoclimatic zone of British Columbia, Canada where cold climate and low annual …

Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm. ex S. Watson) and western red cedar
(Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) are capable of growing in soils that are severely nitrogen …

Poplar and willow are economically-important, fast-growing tree species with the ability to
colonize nutrient-poor environments. To initiate a study on the possible contribution of …

We evaluated internal tissue colonization of hybrid spruce (Picea glauca× P. engelmannii)
seedlings by two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains, Bacillus polymyxa …

Bacterial colonization and growth responses of hybrid spruce (Picea glauca× engelmannii)
seedlings after inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were …

Continuous demand for an increase in food production due to climate change and a steady
rise in world population requires stress-resilient, sustainable agriculture. Overuse of …

Work with plant species of agricultural and horticultural importance indicates that some
endophytic bacterial strains stimulate host plant growth by acting as biocontrol agents, either …

The association of endophytic bacteria with their plant hosts has a beneficial effect for many
different plant species. Our goal is to identify endophytic bacteria that improve the biomass …
