Al‑Hawamdeh et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review evaluating the contributions of bacterial endophytes to wheat’s resilience under drought and salinity stress. The study highlights key physiological mechanisms—such as phytohormone (e.g., IAA) production, stress-responsive gene induction, osmotic adjustment, and enhanced nutrient acquisition via phosphate solubilization and siderophore activity—that enable plants to maintain growth and photosynthesis under adverse conditions . Using literature from 2004 to 2023, the review identifies research trends and gaps, underscoring the growing use of endophytic bacteria as a sustainable strategy in wheat cultivation to improve productivity and food security.
