Abstract
The objective of the present invention is to confer pest resistance to plants of Poaceae without using any chemically synthesized pesticides. The pest resistance can be conferred to plants of Poaceae by isolating from a natural plant an endophytic bacterium capable of expressing pest resistance, artificially culturing the endophytic baterium, and introducing the bacteria to a Poaceae plant of interest.
Claims24
A pest control method for plants of Poaceae, which comprises infecting a plant of Poaceae by artificially introducing endophytic bacteria into the plant, and thus conferring pest resistance to the plant via the endophytic bacteria.
A pest control method for plants of Poaceae, which comprises the steps of isolating from a natural plant an endophytic bacterium expressing pest resistance, artificially culturing the isolated endophytic bacterium, introducing the artificially cultured endophytic bacteria into a plant of interest, and infecting the plant by introducing the endophytic bacteria.
A pest control material, which comprises endophytic bacteria isolated from a natural plant as its main ingredient, wherein the bacteria confer pest resistance to plants of Poaceae to which the bacteria are artificially introduced.
A seed bound to a pest control material, wherein the seed is coated by dispersing in a binding agent endophytic bacteria that confer pest resistance to plants of Poaceae when introduced into the plants.
