Plant-microbe interactions influence plant performance via boosting beneficial root-endophytic bacteria
Taken together, we demonstrate that healthy medicinal plants can form a distinct root-endophytic bacterial community, leading to an increase in plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria (PGPEB) that contribute to the improvement of crop growth and quality. Our research provides valuable insights into the significant role of PGPEB in enhancing crop growth and improving medicinal plants quality for human health development in the future.
