Endosphere microbial communities and plant nutrient acquisition toward sustainable agriculture.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic microbial communities have essential information for scientists based on their biological contribution to agricultural practices. In the external plant environment, biotic and abiotic factors affect microbial populations before getting into plant tissues. Endophytes are involved in mutualistic and antagonistic activities with the host plant. Microbial communities inhabiting the internal tissues of plant roots depend on their ability to live and contend with other plant microflora. The advantageous ones contribute to soil health and plant growth either directly or indirectly. The microbial communities move via soil-root environment into the endosphere of plants promoting plant growth features like antibiosis, induced systemic resistance, phytohormone synthesis, and bioremediation
