Journal ArticleDOI

Genome Survey and Characterization of Endophytic Bacteria Exhibiting a Beneficial Effect on Growth and Development of Poplar Trees

Safiyh Taghavi, +8 more
- 01 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify endophytic bacteria that improve the biomass production and the carbon sequestration potential of poplar trees (Populus spp.) when grown in marginal soil and to gain an insight in the mechanisms underlying plant growth promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploiting plant–microbe partnerships to improve biomass production and remediation

Nele Weyens, +4 more
- 01 Oct 2009 - 
TL;DR: Because many bacteria show a natural capacity to cope with contaminants, they could be exploited to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation or to protect the food chain by reducing levels of agrochemicals in food crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uptake and Biotransformation of Trichloroethylene by Hybrid Poplars

Lee A. Newman, +9 more
- 27 Mar 1997 - 
TL;DR: Poplar trees were found to be capable of taking up trichloroethylene (TCE) and degrading it to several known metabolic products: trich chloroethanol, trichchloroacetic acid, and dichloracetic acids as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytodegradation of organic compounds.

Lee A. Newman, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: The phytodegradation of organic compounds can take place inside the plant or within the rhizosphere of the plant, including solvents in groundwater, petroleum and aromatic compounds in soils, and volatile compounds in the air.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome Sequence of the Plant Growth Promoting Endophytic Bacterium Enterobacter sp. 638

Safiyh Taghavi, +7 more
- 13 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: Genome annotation and comparative genomics allowed the identification of an extended set of genes specific to the plant niche adaptation of this bacterium, which can be exploited to improve establishment and sustainable production of poplar as an energy feedstock on marginal, non-agricultural soils using endophytic bacteria as growth promoting agents.
