Abstract
The complete genome sequences of three endophytic Streptomyces species were compared. Strains EN16, EN23, and EN27 were isolated from surface-sterilized roots of wheat plants from South Australia. In field trials, these strains are effective in suppressing fungal root diseases of wheat when added as spore coatings to wheat seed.
Highlights
The complete genome sequences of three endophytic Streptomyces species were compared
Streptomyces strains EN16, EN23, and EN27 were isolated as endophytes of wheat plants [4]
Their spores when added as seed coatings colonized the wheat seedlings on germination [5] but did not significantly interfere with the indigenous endophytic populations within the wheat plants [6]
Summary
The complete genome sequences of three endophytic Streptomyces species were compared. Actinobacteria are an important component of the plant microbiome, especially colonizing the roots [1, 2], with Streptomyces by far the most common endophytic actinobacterium [3]. Streptomyces strains EN16, EN23, and EN27 were isolated as endophytes of wheat plants [4]. Their spores when added as seed coatings colonized the wheat seedlings on germination [5] but did not significantly interfere with the indigenous endophytic populations within the wheat plants [6].
