The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A promising strain of endophytic Streptomyces sp. for biological control of cucumber anthracnose (2009, background): “Numerous fungal and bacterial endophytes have been isolated from a wide range of plant species (Downing and Thomson 2000; Misaghi and Donndelinger 1990; Narisawa et al. 1998; Siegel and Latch 1991; Strobel 2003).”
Bacterial endophytes: Bacillus spp. from annual crops as potential biological control agents of black pod rot of cacao (2008, unknown): “Endophytes offer a wide range of benefits to plants such as promoting growth (Barka et al., 2002; Kang et al., 2007), reducing disease severity (Coombs et al., 2004; Kloepper et al., 2004; Senthilkumar et al., 2007), inducing plant defense mechanisms (Bargabus et al., 2002; Mishra et al., 2006;…”
Bacterial endophytes and their interactions with hosts. (2006, background): “Endophytic actinobacteria are effective antagonists of the pathogenic fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis in wheat (Coombs et al. 2004), and several endophytes showed antagonism against Rhizoctonia solani (Parmeela and Johri 2004).”
Bioactive secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms associated with plants (2007, result): “The results of Coombs et al. (2004) study indicate that endophytic actinobacteria may provide an advantage as biological control agents for use in the field, where others have failed, due to their ability to colonize the internal tissues of the host plant.”
