Utilizing Beneficial Bacterial Endophytes to Promote Switchgrass Growth in Low- input Agricultural Production Systems
… fuels and make the US more energy independent. Bacterial endophytes, which reside inside plant tissues, are proven to increase yield and stress resistance in a number of plants. The primary objective of this dissertation was to explore the use of endophytes to improve biomass yields of …

PHYTOPLASMAS-ENDOPHYTES INTERACTIONS: THE CASE STUDY OF GRAPEVINE YELLOWS RECOVERY
… these bacteria for GY management. Diversity of bacterial endophytes associated with grapevine leaf tissues was analyzed by cultivation and cultivation-independent methods. To identify bacterial endophytes directly from metagenome, a protocol for bacteria enrichment and DNA extraction was …

Host Specificity, Negative Feedbacks, and Pathogen Defense in the Plant Phyllosphere Microbiome
… the importance of host specificity, where fungal endophytes did not preferentially colonize specific host ecotypes within a single species, but did preferentially colonize specific host species within a single family. Additionally, I also found that more phylogenetically related host species …

The Plant Growth-Promoting Potential of Root-Associated Bacteria from Plants Growing in Stressed Environments
… the purpose of this study was to i) screen bacterial endophytes isolated from plants growing in both a chronically nutrient-deficient agricultural soil and a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil for plant growth-promoting potential in vitro and ii) assess the plant growth-promoting capabilities of …

Enhancement of cold tolerance and growth of tomato plants using endophytic bacteria isolated from cold-adapted plants
… This work aims to investigate the effect of bacterial endophytes isolated from wild cold-adapted alpine plants on the tolerance of tomato seedlings to cold stress. A total of 41 cold tolerant endophytic bacterial isolates collected from the roots of three cold-adapted Rosaceae plants were …

Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) plant productivity and protection with microbial stimulants : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… facilitate dual-culture assays among indigenous endophytes and tea pathogens. Brown blight caused by Colletotrichum camelliae was also tested in this study. Potato dextrose agar ammended with either 25% fresh or dried tea leaf infusion incorporated, tea extact agar (TEA) media were successful for …

THE ROLE OF MICROBIAL ENDOSYMBIONTS IN SORGHUM HALEPENSE INVASIONS: EVIDENCE OF A NEW INVASION STRATEGY, MICROBIALLY ENHANCED COMPETITIVE ABILITY (MECA)
… are plant-regulated; however, my work shows that bacterial endosymbionts can regulate these traits in the invasive grass <i>Sorghum halepense</i>. Using culture and molecular approaches, I found the invasive grass harbors several bacterial organisms inside the roots and rhizomes. These bacterial …
