Attachment
The report details research using chaperonin gene technology from the medical field to characterise the consortia of soil microbes associated with two potato cultivars and two potato growing soils in Canada. The technology was refined and it was demonstrated that both soil directly associated with potato roots and the endophytic community within the roots harboured many potentially useful bacteria for enhancing disease suppression and promoting plant growth.
