摘要

Finding sustainable agricultural solutions has become more critical as climate change accelerates soil deterioration and plant stress. Natural allies in this endeavor include endophytic bacteria and beneficial microbes that reside within or on plant tissues, contributing to plant stress resilience and carbon sequestration. In this review, we integrate CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) based endophytes engineering with carbon sequestration mechanisms, focusing on new findings about how endophytes from adverse environments enhance soil health, long-term carbon storage and plant resilience to salinity, drought and heavy metals. CRISPR-Cas9 based engineering of endophytes offers a powerful tool to enhance carbon sequestration and plant resilience in changing environments. We highlight the functional diversity of endophytic bacteria in regulating phytohormones, antioxidant responses and nutrient cycling, with a particular emphasis on the rhizosphere microbiome’s role in shaping soil carbon stabilization. Some emerging strategies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, CRISPR-modified synthetic consortia, and microbiome engineering, have been explored to optimize the field performance of endophytes and rhizobacteria. By linking microbial taxa, molecular mechanisms and translational gaps, this study positions endophytic bacteria as next-generation bioinoculants essential for climate-smart agriculture and ecosystem restoration.
