Altering Legume Phenotypes with Seedborne Microbes for Nutrition and Resilience of Pulses as Climate-Proof Crops
This technology leverages seed-associated bacterial endophytes to enhance the traits of tepary beans and other legumes. The inventors developed a novel workflow to isolate and screen beneficial microbes from seeds, allowing for predictive assessment of plant growth benefits such as phosphate solubilization, ammonium production, and siderophore activity....
