Diversity of Endophytic Microbes in Taxus yunnanensis and Their Potential for Plant Growth Promotion and Taxane Accumulation.

ABSTRACT: Taxus spp. are ancient tree species that have survived from the Quaternary glacier period, and their metabolites, such as taxol, have been used as anticancer drugs globally. Plant-endophytic microbial interaction plays a crucial role in exerting a profound impact on host growth and secondary metabolite synthesis. In this study, high-throughput sequencing was employed to explore endophytic microbial diversity in the roots, stems, and leaves of the Taxus yunnanensis (T. yunnanensis). The analysis revealed some dominant genera of endophytic bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, Neorhizobium, Acidovorax, and Flavobacterium, with Cladosporium, Phyllosticta, Fusarium, and Codinaeopsis as prominent endophytic fungi genera.
