Abstract: 
medicinal plants have been used by marginal communities to treat various ailments. However, the potential of endophytes within these bio-prospective medicinal plants remains unknown. The present study elucidates the endophytic diversity of medicinal plants (Caralluma acutangula, Rhazya stricta, and Moringa peregrina) and the endophyte role in seed growth and oxidative stress. Various organs of medicinal plants yielded ten endophytes, which were identified as Phoma sp. (6 isolates), Alternaria sp. (2), Bipolaris sp. (1), and Cladosporium sp. (1) based on 18S rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The culture filtrates (CFs; 25%, 50%, and 100% concentrations) from these endophytes were tested against the growth of normal and dwarf mutant rice lines. Endophytic CF exhibited dose-dependent growth stimulation and suppression effects. CF (100%) of Phoma sp. significantly increased rice seed germination and growth compared to controls and other endophytes. This growth-promoting effect was due to the presence of indole acetic acid in endophytic CF. The gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis showed the highest indole acetic acid content ((54.31±0.21) µmol/L) in Bipolaris sp. In addition, the isolate of Bipolaris sp. exhibited significantly higher radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidation activity than the other isolates. Bipolaris sp. and Phoma sp. also exhibited significantly higher flavonoid and phenolic contents. The medicinal plants exhibited the presence of bio-prospective endophytic strains, which could be used for the improvement of crop growth and the mitigation of oxidative stresses.

药用植物内生菌对作物生长及氧化应激的作用

目的:探讨药用植物内生菌的多样性及其在种子生长和氧化应激中的作用。
方法:从三种药用植物(Caralluma acutangulaRhazya strictaMoringa peregrina)中提取内生菌;基于18S rDNA测序和系统发育分析鉴定分离得到的内生菌株;以正常和矮化突变体水稻品系为对照,比较不同浓度的内生菌培养滤液(CF)对水稻种子的发芽和生长的影响;通过气相色谱-质谱分析CF中的有效活性成分。
结论:从药用植物中共获得10种内生菌,包括茎点霉属6株、链格孢属2株、双极霉属1株和枝孢霉属1株。CF表现出剂量依赖性的生长刺激和抑制作用。与对照和其他内生菌相比,100%的茎点霉菌CF显著促进了水稻种子的发芽和生长;双极霉中的吲哚乙酸含量最高,并表现出比其更高的自由基清除和抗脂质过氧化活性;双极霉菌和茎点霉菌的类黄酮和酚类成分较高。综上所述,药用植物中存在内生菌株,其可以用于改善作物生长和减轻氧化应激。
