Abstract:
Endophytic bacteria are the association of bacterial microbe resides inside the plant tissues. They are reported to alleviate several biotic and abiotic stresses of plant. They are also found to be promote growth of plant through their several functional attributes viz., nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, siderophore production and by producing plant growth regulators. They are easily available for plant for their maximum utilization since, they are nurtured inside the plant host which is free from the external adverse and changeable environment. In this review effort will take to summarize the role of endophytic bacteria and their utilization as an alternative for agricultural based practices in sustainable manner.
Keywords: Endophytes,Bacterial endophytes, Nitrogen fixation, Siderophore production, Plant growth regulators.
