Study Shows Bacterial and Yeast Endophytes From Poplar and Willow Promote Growth in Crop Plants and Grasses

Results (on Perennial Rye Grass)

Water Stress
  • Drought stressed innoculated grasses were taller than the control uninnoculated grasses that received ample water. 
  • endophyte-colonized grasses were larger than uninoculated controls, with longer and thicker roots. 
  • innoculated grass had more root mass, greater average weights, longer roots, taller shoots and survived longer when water stressed.
Nitrogen Stress
  • Innoculated grasses were significantly taller than uninnoculated controls when under nitrogen stress (1/5 dose nitrogen).
  • Innocultated grasses had the greatest root and shoot weights.
  • 425% increase in shoot weights was recorded for innoculated grasses copared to uninnoculated.
