Abstract
Grapevine is one of the economically most important fruit crops cultivated worldwide. Grape production is significantly affected by biotic constraints leading to heavy crop losses. Changing climatic conditions leading to widespread occurrence of different foliar diseases in grapevine. Chemical products are used for managing these diseases through preventive and curative application in the vineyard. High disease pressure and indiscriminate use of chemicals leading to residue in the final harvest and resistance development in phytopathogens. To mitigate these challenges, the adoption of potential biocontrol control agents is necessary. Moreover, multifaceted benefits of endophytes made them eco-friendly, and environmentally safe approach. The genetic composition, physiological conditions, and ecology of their host plant have an impact on their dispersion patterns and population diversity. Worldwide, a total of more than 164 fungal endophytes (FEs) have been characterized originating from different tissues, varieties, crop growth stages, and geographical regions of grapevine. These diverse FEs have been used extensively for management of different phytopathogens globally. The FEs produce secondary metabolites, lytic enzymes, and organic compounds which are known to possess antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The aim of this review was to understand diversity, distribution, host-pathogen-endophyte interaction, role of endophytes in disease management and for enhanced, and quality production.

Abstract
In the wake of changing climatic conditions, plants are frequently exposed to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses at various stages of their development, all of which negatively affect their growth, development, and productivity. Drought is one of the most devastating abiotic stresses for most cultivated crops, particularly in arid and semiarid environments. Conventional breeding and biotechnological approaches are used to generate drought-tolerant crop plants. However, these techniques are costly and time-consuming. Plant-colonizing microbes, notably, endophytic fungi, have received increasing attention in recent years since they can boost plant growth and yield and can strengthen plant responses to abiotic stress. In this review, we describe these microorganisms and their relationship with host plants, summarize the current knowledge on how they “reprogram” the plants to promote their growth, productivity, and drought tolerance, and explain why they are promising agents in modern agriculture.

Abstract
To elucidate the biological mechanism of yellow rind formation on watermelon, the characteristics of soil bacterial community structure in rhizosphere and endophytic bacteria in stem of yellow rind watermelon were analyzed. Based on high-throughput sequencing technology, plant stem and rhizosphere soil samples, which collected from yellow and green rind watermelons were used in this paper, respectively. The structural characteristics of the endophytic bacteria in stems and soil bacterial communities in rhizospheres of yellow and green rind watermelons were comparative studied. Firstly, significant different proportions of some dominant bacteria and abundances could be detected between yellow and rind watermelons. Meanwhile, although different abundances of endophytic bacteria could be found, but no significant differences were observed between yellow and green rind watermelons. Moreover, Gemmatimonadota, Myxococcota, WPS-2, norank_f_Gemmatimonadaceae and Bradyrhizobium were the soil dominant bacterial genera in rhizosphere of green rind watermelon. All above results suggest that differences of rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria are exactly recruited as "workers" by different watermelon phenotypes relating to rind color formations.

Abstract
Soil salinity is one of the most important abiotic factors limiting plant productivity. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selected halotolerant plant growth-promoting endophytes (PGPEs, Pseudomonas stutzeri ISE12 and Kushneria marisflavi CSE9) on the growth parameters of barley (Hordeum vulgare), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus) cultivated under salt stress conditions. A negative effect of two higher tested salinities (150 and 300 mM NaCl) was observed on the growth parameters of all investigated plants, including germination percentage and index (decreasing compared to the non-saline control variant in the ranges 5.3-91.7 and 13.6-90.9%, respectively), number of leaves (2.2-39.2%), fresh weight (24.2-81.6%); however, differences in salt stress tolerance among the investigated crops were observed (H. annuus > H. vulgare > L. sativa). Our data showed that the most crucial traits affected by endophyte inoculation under salt stress were chlorophyll concentration, leaf development, water storage, root development, and biomass accumulation. Thus, the influence of endophytes was species specific. K. marisflavi CSE9 promoted the growth of all tested plant species and could be considered a universal PGPEs for many plant genotypes cultivated under saline conditions (e.g., increasing of fresh weight compared to the non-inoculated control variant of barley, lettuce, and sunflower in the ranges 11.4-246.8, 118.9-201.2, and 16.4-77.7%, respectively). P. stutzeri ISE12 stimulated growth and mitigated salinity stress only in the case of barley. Bioaugmentation of crops with halotolerant bacterial strains can alleviate salt stress and promote plant growth; however, the selection of compatible strains and the verification of universal plant stress indicators are the key factors.

Abstract
Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (AMK) is widely used owing to its pharmacological activity in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Here, we aimed to characterize the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of one- and three-year growth (OYG and TYG) rhizomes of AMK combined with the endophytic bacterial diversity analysis using high-throughput RNA-sequencing. 114,572 unigenes were annotated in six public databases. 3570 DEGs revealed a clear difference, of which 936 and 2634 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively. The results of KEGG pathway analysis indicated that DEGs corresponding to the terpenoid synthesis gene were downregulated in TYG rhizomes. 414,424 sequences corresponding to the 16S rRNA gene were divided into 1267 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Moreover, the diversity of endophytic bacteria changed with species in OYG (773) and TYG (1201) rhizomes at OTU level, and Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla. Comparison of species differences among different growth years revealed that some species were significantly different, such as Actinomycetes, Variovorax, Cloacibacterium, etc. Interestingly, the decrease in the function-related metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides was found to be correlated the low expression of terpene synthesis genes in TYG rhizomes assessed using PICRUSt2. These data provide a scientific basis for elucidating the mechanism underlying metabolite accumulation and endophytic bacterial diversity in relation to the growth years in AMK.

Abstract
The precious rare edible fungus Morchella conica is popular worldwide for its rich nutrition, savory flavor, and varieties of bioactive components. Due to its high commercial, nutritional, and medicinal value, it has always been a hot spot. However, the molecular mechanism and endophytic bacterial communities in M. conica were poorly understood. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the genome of M. conica SH. Transcriptome analysis reveals significant differences between the mycelia and fruiting body. As shown in this study, 1,329 and 2,796 genes were specifically expressed in the mycelia and fruiting body, respectively. The Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment showed that RNA polymerase II transcription activity-related genes were enriched in the mycelium-specific gene cluster, and nucleotide binding-related genes were enriched in the fruiting body-specific gene cluster. Further analysis of differentially expressed genes in different development stages resulted in finding two groups with distinct expression patterns. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment displays that glycan degradation and ABC transporters were enriched in the group 1 with low expressed level in the mycelia, while taurine and hypotaurine metabolismand tyrosine metabolism-related genes were significantly enriched in the group 2 with high expressed level in mycelia. Moreover, a dynamic shift of bacterial communities in the developing fruiting body was detected by 16S rRNA sequencing, and co-expression analysis suggested that bacterial communities might play an important role in regulating gene expression. Taken together, our study provided a better understanding of the molecular biology of M. conica SH and direction for future research on artificial cultivation.

Abstract
The association of different species of endophytic bacteria with the rhizosphere of the host plants can stimulate growth, development and acclimatization, offering a greater quantity of seedlings, in addition to reducing the cycle, providing economic return to the producer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of introduction four bacterial isolates through inoculation into the root system in three banana cultivars (Prata Anã, Grande Naine and BRS Princesa) in the acclimatization phase. The evaluated treatments were: control (nutrient broth without bacteria); Bacillus cereus strain 1 (BC1); Bacillus cereus strain 2 (BC2); Bacillus thuringiensis (BT); Buttiauxella agrestis (BA). The morphological characteristics related to the development of the plants (total height and pseudostem diameter) were evaluated throughout the acclimatization period. After 90 days of transplanting and acclimatization, root length, leaf number, dry root weight, pseudostem and leaf, leaf area, internal carbon concentration, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate, leaf temperature and chlorophyll were evaluated. The bacteria showed different results in relation to the studied cultivars. Considering the morphological and physiological characteristics observed in this study, B. thuringiensis for the cultivars Prata Anã and Grande Naine and the B. agrestis for the cultivar BRS Princesa are recommended for the process of acclimatization of banana seedlings, as they stimulated growth of the plant, increasing the dry mass, besides promoting the growth of roots. In this way, they improved the physiological aspects of the plants and reduced the period of acclimatization of the banana.

Abstract
The common grape vine, Vitis vinifera, is a widely known plant with commercial and pharmacological value. The plant hosts a variety of microorganisms known as endophytes that can live within the tissues of the plant for a considerable time period, or even their whole life cycle. The fungus Beauveria bassiana is a well-studied endophyte which can colonize a variety of plants in many ways and in different parts of the plant. In this study, we examined the effect of the endophytic fungus B. bassiana on the growth of V. vinifera. The results demonstrated not only a successful colonization of the endophyte, but also a noteworthy impact on the growth of the V. vinifera root without harming the plant in any way. The fungus was also re-isolated from the parts of the plant using inst bait method. Overall, the study demonstrates the capability of B. bassiana to colonize V. vinifera plants, adding to the already existing knowledge of its endophytic activity, and highlighting its beneficial impact on the root growth.

Abstract
Leaves and roots harbor taxonomically diverse bacterial assemblages which enhance plant growth and performance by increasing nutrient supply and resistance to stress. An extensive investigation of bacterial diversity and composition between leaf and root microbiota of 15 bamboo species differing in rhizome types, lifeforms and sampling sites were conducted by high-through sequencing. The alpha diversity between leaf and root microbiota was not significantly different, whereas, their beta diversity differed remarkably. Niche specialization mainly in species from Actinobacteria was detected which prefer to colonize in roots than leaves. Community structure of leaf microbiota was highly resembled, however, the phylogeny inferred by host's chloroplast data was incongruent with microbiota dendrogram, indicating that phylosymbiosis didn't occur in bamboos and their associated microbiota. Large overlap in functional profiling of leaf and root-associated microbiota was found. Accordingly, we proposed that environmental conditions, structural variation and physiological differences between leaves and roots worked collaboratively for divergence of bamboo microbiota. This study confers to a robust knowledge of bamboo-microbe interaction and provides a list of bacterial lineages for investigation into specific plant-microbe interaction information of which could be used to enhance agricultural and forest productivity.

Abstract
Plant endophytes are microbes that colonize plant internal tissues and are ubiquitously associated with plants. In this study, seven endophytic bacterial strains, 665L2, 725L2, 725R2, 92R2, 728R3, 728R4 and 2416T3, were isolated from seeds of five healthy maize varieties (Zea mays L.) and all identified as Bacillus velezensis by polyphasic taxonomy based on 16S rRNA and gyrA gene phylogenetic analysis. In addition, according to the genotyping results from random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), 665L2, 725L2, 725R2 and 92R2 belonged to the same strain, while 728R3 and 2416T3 belonged to another strain. Pathogenic fungal strains 4, 5 and 6 were isolated from three diseased maize varieties (Zea mays L.), and they were identified as Talaromyces funiculosus, Penicillium oxalicum and Fusarium verticillioides, respectively, by polyphasic taxonomy based on morphological identification, ITS rDNA and bio-control gene phylogenetic analyses. Seven endophytic bacterial Bacillus velezensis strains had favourable antagonistic activity, and antagonistic testing was carried out against the three pathogenic strains, Talaromyces funiculosus 4, Penicillium oxalicum 5 and Fusarium verticillioides 6. Biological control lipopeptide antibiotic genes (bioA, bmyB, ituC, fenD, srfAA, srfAB, yngG and yndJ) were amplified using specific primers, and they were found in the seven endophytic bacterial Bacillus velezensis strains. This study provides a scientific basis for future research on the use of resistant endophytic bacterial resources to enhance crop production.
