Unlocking the hidden potential of the genus Salvia through a systematic review of endophytic bacterial and fungal diversity and biotechnological prospects.
Synthesis in Archives of microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The genus Salvia is one of the largest and the most pharmacologically important genera within the family Lamiaceae, which is known for its rich diversity of bioactive compounds, including phenolics and terpenoids. Recent studies have shown that endophytic fungi and bacteria associated with Salvia play important roles in plant growth, development, and chemical composition, which in turn contribute to species adaptability. This review presents a comprehensive, PRISMA-guided systematic review that emphasises the diversity and biotechnological potential of these endophytes. Available evidence indicates that although Salvia-associated endophytes have been widely studied, most research has focused on a single species, namely Salvia miltiorrhiza, with comparatively limited attention to other species and their associated endophytic communities. This review compiles comprehensive, current knowledge on endophyte diversity, tissue-specific distribution, and ecological roles, along with their biotechnological applications related to plant growth promotion, stress tolerance, biocontrol activity, and the production of bioactive compounds. It also highlights the role of endophytes in enhancing host secondary metabolite accumulation, with appropriate citations. Despite significant advances, gaps remain in understanding endophyte diversity across different Salvia species and in linking microbial functions to host-associated metabolic outcomes. This review identifies key knowledge gaps and outlines future directions to advance our understanding of plant-endophyte interactions and to support their effective application in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology.
