Provided is a method for improving the yield of a harvested product of at least one plant selected from the group consisting of plants belonging to the families Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Poaceae and Fabaceae. A method for cultivating at least one plant selected from the group consisting of plants belonging to the families Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Poaceae and Fabaceae comprises applying a plant-vitalizing agent comprising an exogenous elicitor and an endogenous elicitor to a young seedling of the plant at least one time.

Materials and methods for improving plant traits and for providing plant benefits are provided. In some embodiments, the materials, and methods employing the same, can comprise endophytes.

A computing system includes a processor and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing system to receive a machine data set; process the machine data set using a trained machine-learned model to generate predicted variety profile index values, and transmit the variety profile index values to a client computing device. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a machine data set; processing the machine data set using a trained machine-learned model to generate predicted variety profile index values, and transmitting the variety profile index values to a client computing device. A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computer to receive a machine data set; process the machine data set using a trained machine-learned model to generate predicted variety profile index values, and transmit the variety profile index values to a client computing device.

This invention relates to methods and compositions for providing a benefit to a plant by associating the plant with a beneficial endophyte of the genus Streptomyces, including benefits to a plant derived from a seed or other plant element treated with said endophyte. For example, this invention provides purified endophytes, synthetic combinations comprising endophytes, and methods of making and using the same. In particular, this invention relates to compositions and methods of improving soybean and maize plants.

A plant cultivation method and light treatment unit for increasing the content of a phytochemical. The plant cultivation method includes: growing a plant by germinating a seed; increasing the content of resveratrol, which is a phytochemical, through UV treatment on the plant; and harvesting the plant. Here, UV treatment is performed by irradiating the plant with UV light emitted from an LED.
