Problems solved by technology

Due to variable and inconsistent results for any given mycorrhizal strain, and the difficulty of studying this class of organisms, mycorrhizal fungi have not gained the same frequency of use as nodular bacteria

Embodiment Embodiment 1

[0268] EXAMPLES Example 1 - Effect of treatment of tomato seeds with an allergic reaction elicitor of Erwinia amylovora on germination

[0269] rate impact

[0270] Seeds of Marglobe var. tomato were soaked in 40 ml Erwinia amylovora hypersensitive response elicitor solution ("harpin"). Harpin was prepared as follows: Cultures containing plasmid pCPP2139 (see figure 1 ) Escherichia coli strain DH5, the cells were lysed by sonication, kept in boiling water for 5 minutes for heat treatment, centrifuged to remove cell debris, and then precipitated proteins and other heat-labile components. The resulting preparation ("CFEP") was serially diluted. These dilutions (1:40, 1:80, 1:160, 1:320, and 1:640) contained 20, 10, 5, 2.5, and 1.25 μgm / ml of harpin, respectively, according to Western blot analysis. On day 0, seeds were soaked in harpin or buffer in beakers for 24 hours at 28°C in a growth chamber. After soaking, the seeds were sown on day 1 in germinati...

Embodiment 2

[0281] As shown in Table 1, treatment of tomato seeds with Erwinia amylovora hypersensitivity elicitors reduced the time required for germination and greatly increased the germination rate. Example 2 - Effect of treatment of tomato seeds with Erwinia amylovora hypersensitivity elicitor on tomato plants

[0282] high impact

[0283] On day 0, in a growth chamber, seeds of Marglobe var. tomato were soaked in beakers with Erwinia amylovora harpin (1:15, 1:30, 1:60 and 1:120) or buffer 24 hours in solution. After soaking, the seeds were sown on day 1 in germination trays with artificial soil.

[0284] Ten consistent plants were randomly selected for each treatment and measured. Use a ruler to measure the height of the seedlings from the soil surface to the top of the plant.

[0285] Treatment: 1. harpin (1:15) (52 μgm / ml). 2. Harpin (1:30) (26 μgm / ml). 3. Harpin (1:60) (13 μgm / ml). 4. Harpin (1:120) (6.5 μgm / ml). 5. Buffer (5mM KPO 4 , pH6.8).

Embodiment 5

[0328] As shown in Tables 7-10, treatment of tomato seeds with an Erwinia amylovora hypersensitive response elicitor enhanced tomato plant growth. The 1:160 dilution (5 μg / ml harpin) had the greatest effect - seedling height increased by more than 20% over buffer-treated plants. Example 5 Treatment of tomato seeds with Erwinia amylovora hypersensitivity elicitor vs. seed

[0329] The effect of germination

[0330] On day 0, Marglobe tomato seeds were soaked in a beaker at 28°C in 40 ml of Erwinia amylovora hypersensitive response elicitor ("harpin") solution (from CFEP of E. coli DH5(pCPP2139)) in a growth chamber. 1:50 or 1:100 dilutions containing 8 μgm / ml and 4 μgm / ml of the hypersensitivity elicitor, respectively) or in buffer for 24 hours. After soaking, the seeds were sown on day 1 in germination trays with artificial soil. Each treatment was performed in 4 pots with 20 seeds in each pot. Treatment: 1. harpin (8 μgm / ml). 2. Harpin (8 μgm / ml). 3. Harpin (8 μgm / ml). ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of enhancing growth of plants. This involves applying a hypersensitive response elicitor polypeptide or protein in a non-infectious form to a plant or plant seed under conditions effective to enhance growth of the plant or plants produced from the plant seed. Alternatively, transgenic plants or transgenic plant seeds transformed with a DNA molecule encoding a hypersensitive response elicitor polypeptide or protein can be provided and the transgenic plants or plants resulting from the transgenic pland seeds are grown under conditions effective to enhance plant growth.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 036,048, filed January 27,1997. [0002] This invention was made with US Government support (USDA NRI Competitive Research Grant No. 91-37303-6430). field of invention [0003] The present invention relates to enhancing the growth of plants. Background of the invention [0004] The application of organic fertilizers to improve plant growth has been known and practiced for centuries (H. Marschner, "Mineral Nutrition of Higher Plants," Academic Press: New York p. 674 (1986)). Modern humans have developed sophisticated inorganic fertilizer production systems, producing easy-to-use products that growers and farmers can apply to soil or growing crops to improve performance by enhancing growth. Plant size, colouration, maturity and yield can all be improved by applying fertilizer products. Inorganic fertilizers include commonly used chemicals ...
