Isolation and Characterization of Endophytic Microorganisms from Meristematic Tissues of Garlic Cloves (Allium sativum) of Mexican Varieties
This study focuses on the isolation and identification of endophytic microorganisms from the meristems of garlic cloves belonging to ten Mexican varieties that were processed for cryopreservation. Their plant growth-promoting traits were evaluated to identify promising strains for the development of microbial bioinoculants aimed at enhancing garlic and other crop production. Additionally, their potential application in the recovery of field-conserved varieties is considered.
