The Composition Analysis of Endophytic Bacteria Community and Genetic Investigation of Major Strains in Jimai 44 Seeds

In this research, the community composition and specific strains of endophytic bacteria in the seeds of Triticum aestivum L. cv. Jimai 44 were cultured in vitro and initially identified. Sequencing information revealed the main composition of the endophytic bacterial community. The taxonomic status of four target strains was analyzed in detail, and their functions in promoting wheat growth or resisting wheat diseases and pests were discussed and inferred. Additionally, in vitro culture experiments were conducted to verify the capabilities of the endophytic bacterial samples to metabolize major nutrient elements.
