Abstract
A method for enhancing growth of plants comprising contacting astrain with the plant or a plant seed under conditions effective for thestrain to colonize the roots of the plant or a plant grown from the plant seed, thereby creating a plant-system. The plant or plant seed is grown under conditions effective to sustain the plant-system in a planting medium and to enhance plant growth. Thestrain is selected from the group consisting ofstrain WW10TC4 (ATCC accession number PTA 9707),strain RR17Bc (ATCC accession number PTA 9708),strain F11 Bab (ATCC accession number PTA 9709), and combinations thereof. Methods of enhancing resistance of plants to abiotic stress, increasing nitrogen use efficacy in plants, reducing nitrous oxide emissions in air, reducing leaching of nitrates into soil and water, and enhancing sequestration of carbon from air are disclosed.
