Summary: | The project aim is to enhance plant tolerance and biomass production by means of bacterial and fungal endophytes. Three energy crops (Populus sp., Miscanthus sp. and Brassica napus) grown at poor or contaminated sites serve as a source of endophytes and as a sink of developed inocula in future. |
