The present invention includes modified and unmodified microbes, compositions comprising these microbes, and methods of using these microbes and/or compositions for enhancing plant health, plant growth plant yield and/or drought tolerance. This disclosure also provides non-naturally occurring plant varieties that are artificially infected with microbes descried herein, as well as seed, reproductive tissue, vegetative tissue, regenerative tissues, plant parts, or progeny thereof.

Microbes, compositions, and uses for increasing plant yield and/or drought tolerance

The disclosure relates to isolated microorganisms—including novel strains of the microorganisms, microbial consortia, and agricultural compositions comprising the same. Furthermore, the disclosure teaches methods of utilizing the described microorganisms, microbial consortia, and agricultural compositions comprising the same, in methods for imparting beneficial properties to target plant species. In particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of increasing desirable plant traits in agronomically important crop species.

Provided are bioactive compositions and metabolites derived fromand particularlycultures responsible for controlling pests as well as their methods of use for controlling pests. Further provided are pesticidalstrains.

bioactive compositions and metabolites

Disclosed herein are the nucleotide sequences of thegenes. In addition, the amino acid sequences of proteins encoded by thegenes are provided. Nucleic acids, vectors and polypeptides comprising the aforementioned sequences are also provided. Homologues, functional fragments and conservative variants of the aforementioned sequences are also provided. Compositions having pesticidal, bioremedial and plant growth-promoting activities comprisinggenes and proteins, and methods for the use of these compositions, are also provided.

genes

Disclosed herein is the nucleotide sequence of thegenome. Also provided are the nucleotide sequences of open reading frames in thegenome (i.e.,genes). In addition, the amino acid sequences of proteins encoded by thegenome are provided. Nucleic acids, vectors and polypeptides comprising the aforementioned sequences are also provided. Homologues, functional fragments and conservative variants of the aforementioned sequences are also provided. Compositions having pesticidal, bioremedial and plant growth-promoting activities comprisinggenes and proteins, and methods for the use of these compositions, are also provided.
