Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is an obligate, biotrophic pathogen, sabotages various pathways in host plant, causes root infection and impedes growth and known as the greatest threat to cruciferous crop production worldwide. Various control measures such as genetic resistance, application of chemical compounds and biological fungicides and other cultural practices have not been fruitful. Biological control based upon the idea of implying nature to work for nature, is sound. Endophytes are ubiquitous to kingdom planta thus plant-endophyte association is intimate and dynamic. Bacterial endophytes offer many benefits to plant by acting as growth promoters and disease defenders. Endophyte-mediated biocontrol is achieved by exclusion of pathogen via niche and nutrient competition, by producing anti-microbial compounds and inducing host defense responses. Many rhizobacteria and some endophytes have been tested for clubroot control. In this review, efforts are made to summarize recent developments in biocontrol through endophytes, with latest improvements in biocontrol of clubroot disease are focused specifically.

芸苔疟原虫引起的马蹄根病是一种专性的生物营养病原体，破坏宿主植物中的各种途径，导致根部感染并阻碍生长，被公认为全球十字花科作物生产的最大威胁。各种控制措施，例如遗传抗药性，化学化合物和生物杀真菌剂的应用以及其他文化习俗并未取得成果。基于暗示自然为自然工作的思想的生物控制是正确的。内生植物普遍存在于植物界中，因此植物与内生植物的联系是紧密而动态的。细菌内生菌通过充当生长促进剂和疾病防御者，为植物提供了许多好处。内生菌介导的生物防治是通过生态位和养分竞争排除病原体，产生抗微生物化合物并诱导宿主防御反应而实现的。已经对许多根瘤菌和一些内生菌进行了根癌防治的测试。在这篇综述中，我们努力总结了通过内生菌进行生物防治的最新进展，特别是对根瘤病生物防治的最新进展进行了重点介绍。
