Comparative Analysis of the Endophytic Bacterial Diversity of Populus euphratica Oliv. in Environments of Different Salinity Intensities.

ABSTRACT: Populus euphratica Oliv. has a high tolerance for drought, salinity, and alkalinity. The main purpose of this study is to explore the effects of environments of different salinity intensities on endophytic community structure and the possible roles of endophytes in the tolerance of host plants. The characterization of endogenous bacteria in diversity has been investigated by using the Illumina high-throughput sequencing technique. The research showed that endophytic bacteria of P. euphratica in an extremely saline environment had low species diversity, especially in sap tissue. The dominant phyla in all groups were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. Notably, Firmicutes (relative abundance >5%) was a different dominant phylum in the
