“…Research on various plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana (eudicot) ( Bai et al, 2015 ), rice ( Zhang et al, 2019 ; Kim and Lee, 2020 ), sorghum ( Emmett et al, 2017 ) (monocot) and Cycas panzhihuaensis (gymnosperm) ( Zheng and Gong, 2019 ) has revealed that plant compartments, environmental conditions and host phylogeny are the most predominant factors influencing plant-microbial consortia ( Bouffaud et al, 2014 ). Diverse microbes have been found in bamboo leaves, rhizomes, roots, and seeds ( Shen et al, 2014 ; Liu et al, 2017 ) based on culture-dependent and independent methods ( Yuan et al, 2015a ; Debnath et al, 2018 ), some of which were endophytic phosphorus- and potassium-solubilizing bacteria ( Yuan et al, 2015b ; Yuan et al, 2018 ). The photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance in Phyllostachys edulis treated with these growth-promoting bacteria were all higher than in the control groups ( Yuan et al, 2018 ).…”
