METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING MICROBIAL STRAINS HAVING ENHANCED PLANT COLONIZATION EFFICIENCY

Abstract: methods of evaluating microorganisms to determine efficiency of colonization of a plant or plant part are described. methods of identifying genetic elements correlated with colonization efficiency of plant-associated microorganism are also provided. methods to identify microorganisms for use as inoculants for improved plant yield using the colonization screening methods or the presence of genetic elements associated with colonization efficiency are described. further methods useful for identification of microorganisms useful as inoculants for improving plant yield are presented.
