This invention relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a plant by associating the plant with a complex endophyte comprising a host fungus further comprising a component bacterium, including benefits to a plant derived from a seed or other plant element treated with a complex endophyte. For example, this invention provides purified complex endophytes, purified complex endophyte components such as bacteria or fungi, synthetic combinations comprising said complex endophytes and/or components, and methods of making and using the same.

The present application discloses the use of diatom in rice planting and a cultivation method of rice in symbiosis with diatom and relates to the technical field of rice planting. The use of diatom in rice planting is achieved by adding diatom to an irrigated paddy field and performing co-cultivation during rice planting. Co-cultivation of diatom and rice can effectively achieve the beneficial effects of increased yield/silicon, thicker straw, and increased lodging resistance in rice, and can reduce soil degradation, reduce the risk of heavy metal pollution and increase soil fertility.

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.

The present disclosure discloses an insect-rice symbiotic comprehensive planting and breeding method mainly based on tylorrhynchus proliferation. The planting method comprises: paddy field selection; field layout; soil preparation and fertilization; stocking of Tylorrhynchuss and seedlings; management of Tylorrhynchus proliferation; rice planting; field management; water level control; rice harvesting; Tylorrhynchus capturing. The present disclosure employs a comprehensive breeding mode of symbiosis between Tylorrhynchuss and rice. By first proliferating the Tylorrhynchuss in the rice field and then planting rice, it can simulate the growth environment of the Tylorrhynchuss in the field to the greatest extent, and give full play to the mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship between Tylorrhynchuss and rice, the rotten g rice roots, stems and leaves can provide food for the Tylorrhynchuss.

The invention discloses a method of rapid generation-adding breeding of rice in the technical field of rice breeding, including soaking seeds of the rice, germination, seedlings cultivation, managing and regulating of the rice at the growth stage, and harvesting the rice. The managing and regulating the rice at the growth stage includes dynamic light quality and photoperiod control in vegetative growth period, heading period and pustulation period; growth period involves light environment regulation with the ratio of red light:blue light:white light of 0.8-1:0.8-1:1.0, photoperiod of 16-18 h; heading period involves light environment regulation with the ratio of red light:blue light:white light of 1-2:0.5-1:1, photoperiod of 12-13.5 h; and pustulation period includes light environment regulation with the ratio of red light:blue light:white light of 1-2:1:1, photoperiod of 16-18 h.
