| abstract |
A fusion protein containing a targeting sequence, exine protein, or exine protein fragment that targets the exine fusion protein of a recombinant member of the Bacillus cereus family. The fusion proteins further comprise an enzyme having ACC deaminase activity, a phospholipase, a lipase, a xylanase, a xylosidase, a lactonase, a chitosanase, a protease, a glucanase, a phytase, an acid phosphatase, a pectinase, a mannanase and / or an expansin protein. The invention also relates to recombinant members of the Bacillus cereus family that express fusion proteins, exine fragments derived from recombinant members of the Bacillus cereus family, and formulations containing recombinant members of the Bacillus cereus family. or fragments of exine. The invention also relates to plant seeds treated with recombinant members of the Bacillus cereus family, exine fragments or formulations. The invention further relates to methods for stimulating plant growth and / or promoting plant health using recombinant members of the Bacillus cereus family, exine fragments or formulations. |
