Endophytic Actinobacteria: Beneficial Partners for Sustainable Agriculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Endophytes: Biology and Biotechnology

Part of the book series: Sustainable Development and Biodiversity ((SDEB,volume 15))

Abstract

Endophytic actinobacteria have been proven to be effective partners that have beneficial functions with a number of crop plants. A large number of studies have been carried out, showing these positive effects in laboratories and glasshouses, but with fewer reports of their effectiveness in the field. This chapter highlights the results of field trials of actinobacterial endophytes conducted with cereals, vegetables such as tomato, cucumber, or cabbage, legumes such as chickpea or pea, fruits such as melon or grapes, peanuts, and woody plants.
