Patent Classification: ["800", "298000"]

Abstract:
This application relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a seed or seedling of an agricultural plant (e.g., an agricultural grass plant), or the agricultural plant derived from the seed or seedling. For example, this application provides purified bacterial populations that include novel seed-origin bacterial endophytes, and synthetic combinations of seeds and/or seedlings (e.g., cereal seeds and/or seedlings) with heterologous seed-derived bacterial endophytes.

Claim (Index 93):
A method of treating seeds of a cereal agricultural plant, comprising mechanically or manually inoculating a plurality of cereal agricultural plant seeds with an agricultural formulation comprising an agriculturally acceptable carrier and a purified bacterial population that comprises a seed bacterial endophyte of the genus Enterobacter that is heterologous to the seed, and has a 16S nucleic acid sequence that is at least 99% identical to a 16S nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 541, 595, 540, and 550, wherein the endophyte is heterologously disposed to the seed in an amount effective to colonize a plant germinated from the inoculated seed, wherein the plant germinated from the inoculated seed has increased growth as compared to a plant germinated from a reference seed sowed under the same conditions, and wherein the cereal agricultural plant is selected from the group consisting of: sorghum, millet, oat, triticale, rye, and barley.
