ABSTRACT:
A method of altering the metabolism of a plant includes the steps of genetically altering at least one commensal bacterium of the plant to alter the level and nature of the enzyme activity produced by the plant. Because of the close relationship between the commensal bacteria and plant with regard to total enzyme activity, and the relationship of total enzyme activity to agronomic production, the present invention provides a mechanism to significantly improve agronomic performance.
