Gaertn.) variety VL149The study could collate information about the colony characteristics and biochemical traits with the 16S rDNA sequences/ITS sequence and tentatively identify 9 different endophytes. From the comparision and information in the public domain, all the 9 endophyte have positive effects on the other crop species they inhabit. Studies on their exact role in finger millet may help to develop a consortium / several consortia which can be introduced into other popular crop species, thus concomitantly transferring desirable traits.en-USnullThesis
