Preface
The damage to the ecological foundation essential for sustainable advances in
productivity led to the onset of fatigue in Green Revolution. Scientific principles
of soil and plant health management are being developed in order to sustain the
benefitsofenhancedproductivityoverlongperiods.Therefore,amazinggainsand
phenomenal increase have been observed in crop productivity by the use of
effective microorganisms (plant growth and health-supporting bacteria) and
practices. The agricultural crops which are a major source of food and nutrition
are of immense importance to meet out the requirements of burgeoning human
population. The productivity of the crops both in terms of quality and quantity of
foodisofparamountimportance.Keepinginviewofourimmediateandlong-term
needs,theroleofbeneficialbacteriainagricultural–biologicalissuesisenvisaged.
The book entitled “Bacteria in Agrobiology: Crop Productivity” contains 19
chapters that cover multiple facets of contribution of the microbial attributes in
addressing the crop’s productivity that advance in perpetuity without
accompanying ecological harm. Exploitation of endophytic, root-nodulating, and
rhizospheric bacteria having beneficial plant growth-promoting and health-
supportingcharacteristicsprovedsignificantinlow-inputfood,forage,andnonfood
crops for sustainable agricultural system. On one hand, beneficial bacteria also

on the other hand, also proved to be significant in adaptation of psammophytes

Wetrustthisbookwillbeusefulforresearchers,teachers,students,andpolicy
makers but also for those who are interested in the subjects of plant sciences,
microbiology, phytopathology, ecology, environmental science, and agricultural
sciences.

Endophytic Bacteria: A Biotechnological
Potential in Agrobiology System

1.1 Introduction
Thetermendophyteisappliedtomicroorganismsthatlivewithinplanttissuesfor
all or part of their life cycles and cause no apparent infections or symptoms of
disease (Wilson 1995; Azevedo et al. 2000; Bacon and White 2000; Saikkonen
etal.2004).Hallmannetal.(1997)describeendophytesasthoseorganismsthatcan
be isolated from surface-sterilized plant parts or extracted from inner tissues and
that cause no damage to the host plant. In addition, Azevedo and Arau´jo (2007)
suggestedthatendophytesareallmicroorganisms,culturableornot,thatinhabitthe
interior of plant tissues, cause no harm to the host, and do not develop external
structures. More recently, Mendes and Azevedo (2007) defined endophytic
microorganismsinthesamewayasotherauthors(Hallmannetal.1997;Azevedo
et al. 2000; Azevedo and Arau´jo 2007) but suggested a division of endophytes in
twotypes:typeI,orendophytesthatdonotdevelopexternalstructures,andtypeII,
orendophytesthatdevelopexternalstructures.
Endophytic bacteria have been isolated from many different plant species
(Lodewyckx et al. 2002; Idris et al. 2004; Rosenblueth and Martinez-Romero
2006; Barzanti et al. 2007; Sheng et al. 2008; Mastretta et al. 2009); in some
cases, they may stimulate host growth through several mechanisms, including
biologicalcontrol,inductionofsystemicresistancetopathogens,nitrogenfixation,
production of growth regulators, and enhancement of mineral nutrients or water
uptake (Ryan et al. 2008). Additionally, the endophytic bacteria isolated from
