Estimating the term…
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.

A method of treating seeds of a wheat plant, comprising contacting a plurality of 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 97% identical to a 16S nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
A method of treating seeds of a wheat plant, comprising contacting a plurality of seeds with an agricultural formulation comprising an agriculturally acceptable carrier and a purified bacterial population that comprises a first bacterial endophyte and a second bacterial endophyte, wherein the first bacterial endophyte is of the genus Enterobacter and has a 16S nucleic acid sequence that is at least 97% identical to a 16S nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
