61. A synthetic combination comprising a purified microbial population in association with a plurality of seeds or seedlings of an agricultural plant, wherein the purified microbial population comprises a first endophyte capable of at least one of:
- production of an auxin, nitrogen fixation, production of an antimicrobial, production of a siderophore, mineral phosphate solubilization, production of a cellulase, production of a chitinase, production of a xylanase, and production of acetoin, or a combination of two or more thereof, wherein the first endophyte comprises a 16S rRNA or ITS rRNA nucleic acid sequence at least 95% identical to a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs;
1-3700, and wherein the endophyte is present in the synthetic combination in an amount effective to provide a benefit to the seeds or seedlings or the plants derived from the seeds or seedlings. - View Dependent Claims (68, 69, 72, 73, 78, 81, 82, 83, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, 97, 99, 103, 105, 109, 138)
- production of an auxin, nitrogen fixation, production of an antimicrobial, production of a siderophore, mineral phosphate solubilization, production of a cellulase, production of a chitinase, production of a xylanase, and production of acetoin, or a combination of two or more thereof, wherein the first endophyte comprises a 16S rRNA or ITS rRNA nucleic acid sequence at least 95% identical to a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs;
