Probably the first report of endophyte isolated from mulberry is by Sato, et al., (2000), and the bacterial strain they reported Xanthomonas compestris was non pathogenic one. This area of the soil directly affected by plant roots is called the rhizosphere. Led by the University of North Carolina and the US The researchers then isolated DNA from these three compartments—soil, rhizosphere and endophytes—and looked at the 16S rRNA gene, a diagnostic tag that can help distinguish between microbial species. The shoot endophyte communities of plants treated with the high inoculation density were similar to that of the roots, and hosted a lower bacterial richness based on the number of T-RFs (Fig. Schulz (Editor), Christine J.C. Such microbes are known as root endophytes. In addition to these well-known root-inhabiting microbes, the sequencing of the poplar genome has revealed the occurrence of hundreds of bacterial and fungal endophytes in both roots and leaves. Plant roots may not only be colonized by mycorrhizal fungi, but also by a myriad of bacterial and fungal root endophytes that are usually not considered by the investigators of classic symbioses. The study sheds light on how microbial communities (microbiomes) living in and on plant roots can boost plant health, growth and defense against pests. Language: English Released: 2006.

Improved plant growth, higher nutrient Mu, et al., (2008) have succeeded in colonizing an antagonistic bacteria Burkholderia cepacia strain Lu10-1, isolated from healthy mulberry by acupuncturing, seed soaking, root soaking and leaf daubing. GO Microbial Root Endophytes Author: Barbara J.E. Bacteria and fungi not only live adjacent to the roots, but some can actually live inside the roots.
