TLDR
Culture of two nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolated from rice and jute phyllospheres respectively were sprayed on wheat plants as substitute for nitrogenous fertilisers and there was a marked improvement in yield and growth of the plants.Abstract:
Culture of two nitrogen-fixing bacteria (REN2 and JN1) isolated from rice and jute phyllospheres respectively, were sprayed on wheat plants as substitute for nitrogenous fertilisers. There was a marked improvement in yield and growth of the plants. An average increase in yield by 70% was obtained which was very near to that obtained by fertilizer treatment.read more

Bacteria in the leaf ecosystem with emphasis on Pseudomonas syringae-a pathogen, ice nucleus, and epiphyte.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the bacterial component of leaf microbial communities, with emphasis on P. syringae—a species that participates in leaf ecosystems as a pathogen, ice nucleus, and epiphyte, to illustrate the attractiveness and somewhat unique opportunities provided by leaf ecosystems for addressing fundamental questions of microbial population dynamics and mechanisms of plant-bacterium interactions.

Polyesters in Higher Plants
TL;DR: The major function of the polyester in plants is as a protective barrier against physical, chemical, and biological factors in the environment, including pathogens.

Effect of foliar application of Azotobacter , Azospirillum and Beijerinckia on leaf yield and quality of mulberry ( Morus alba )
TL;DR: Three nitrogen fixing bacteria, particularly the Azotobacter, as a foliar biofertilizer to increase mulberry leaf production resulted in improved leaf quality as indicated by their protein content and their impact on silkworm rearing and cocoon production when treated leaves were subjected to bioassay.

Discovery of a cutinase-producing Pseudomonas sp. cohabiting with an apparently nitrogen-fixing Corynebacterium sp. in the phyllosphere
TL;DR: A phyllospheric bacterial culture found to contain a fluorescent pseudomonas which was identified as Pseudomonas putida and a Corynebacterium sp.

The phyllosphere: III. Nitrogen fixation in the phyllosphere
TL;DR: In the limited space of the petri dish the cultural conditions for active nitrogen fixation quickly deteriorated by the accumulation of metabolic products from both the leaf and the microvegetation, and Heterotrophs and predatory protozoa eventually dominated the initial population.

Microbial inoculation of plants
TL;DR: It was shown that Azotobacter did not colonize the roots of lucerne, maize, tomato, or wheat to any great extent and Bacillus and Clostridium were moderate colonizers of plant roots reaching from 1 to 20 per cent the levels reached by Pseudomonas fluorescens on the same plants.
