The present invention provides a rice plant that shows enhanced growth and
increased seed production, which also enables reduction of the use of
chemical fertilizers.In the present invention, a nitrogen-fixing
endophytic bacterium is isolated from bacteria symbiotically inhabiting
natural plants, the isolated endophytic bacterium is artificially
proliferated and then artificially inoculated into rice plants, and thus,
the nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacteria are allowed to infect to rice
plants.
