The strain, Pantoea ananatis MR5 taxonomically identified using 16S ribosomal DNA sequence was isolated from roots of Cenchrus biflorus. Its endophytic colonization was investigated microscopically using green fluorescent protein introduced by vector pGLO. The strain entered wheat tissues through the root and was localized in the roots, stems & leaves.
