Inoculation of cultivated and wild plants with plant growth-promoting
bacteria (basic studies).
Version January 2008
Goals: Understand how plant growth by plant growth-promoting bacteria might
affect the yield of agricultural plants for better agricultural
programs and establish wild plants to improve reforestation programs.
