Th ese bacteria form non-pathogenic relationships with their hosts. Such asso ciations can increase plant growth and hasten development or improve resis tance to environmental stress. In this study\, several bacterial endophyte s\, isolated from cultivars of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)\, were studi ed for their antimicrobial properties\, growth promoting potential\, re- c olonization and vertical transmission via seeds. Bacillus subtilis strain 26 was further evaluated as plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) on the full life cycle of Brachypodium distachyon Bd21\, an established model spe cies in cereal crops and temperate grasses.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ comm unity is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrati ng the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n \n\n \n DTSTART:20160224T141500Z DTEND:20160224T141500Z LOCATION:Room P-117\, Parasitology Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue \, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Bacillus subtilis B26\, a plant growth promoter a nd drought protector of grasses URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defense-bacillu s-subtilis-b26-plant-growth-promoter-and-drought-protector-grasses-258213 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
