Fungi colonizing the surface and endosphere of two widespread Poaceae weed species, Avena fatua and Echinochloa crus-galli, were isolated to compare the taxonomic composition between the plant species, location, and year of the seed collection. The seed-degrading potential of Fusarium isolated from the seeds was tested by inoculating seeds of E. crus-galli with spore suspension. Molecular identification of epiphytic and endophytic fungal genera was performed by sequencing the ITS region of rDNA. Endophytes comprised of significantly lower fungal richness compared to epiphytes. A significant taxonomic overlap was observed between the endosphere and seed surface. The most abundant genera were Alternaria, Fusarium, Cladosporium, and Sarocladium. Analysis of similarities and hierarchical clustering showed that microbial communities were more dissimilar between the two plant species than between the years. Fusarium isolates with a high potential to infect and degrade E. crus-galli seeds in laboratory conditions belong to F. sporotrichioides and F. culmorum.

Bacteria associated with plants, whether rhizospheric, epiphytic, or endophytic, play a crucial role in plant productivity and health by promoting growth through complex mechanisms known as plant growth promoters. This study aimed to isolate, characterize, identify, and evaluate the potential of endophytic bacteria from the resurrection plant in enhancing plant growth, using ecotype Col. 0 as a model system.

Submerged plants can thrive entirely underwater, playing a crucial role in maintaining water quality, supporting aquatic organisms, and enhancing sediment stability. However, they face multiple challenges, including reduced light availability, fluctuating water conditions, and limited nutrient access. Despite these stresses, submerged plants demonstrate remarkable resilience through physiological and biochemical adaptations.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a critical public health issue that requiring immediate action. Wild halophytic plants can be the solution for the AMR crisis because they harbor unique endophytes capable of producing potent antimicrobial metabolites. This study aimed at identifying promising and antimicrobial metabolites produced by endophytic/epiphytic bacteria recovered from the wild Bassia scoparia plant.
