Abstract: Medicinal plants have been traditionally utilized by marginalized communities for curing a broad range of health conditions. In traditional medicine, a range of well-being issues are addressed by utilizing different tissues from medicinal plants. . Each tissue of these medicinal plants produces variety of secondary metabolites with pharmacological effects. These tissues also harboures many endophytes that stimulates the growth and secondary metabolite production by the plants. The medicinal plants namely Andrographis paniculata, Abutilon indicum, Ipomea lacunose Aeglemarmelos,Ocimum,Withania sominifera ,Tinospora are some of the important medicinal plants with a variety of applications like anticancer properties, immunomodulatory effects, anti-hepatotoxic qualities, anti-atherosclerotic attributes, anti-hyperglycemic potential, and antioxidative activities, anti-hyperglycemic potential, anti-convulsant activity and larvicidal activities These medicinal plants have demonstrated the existence of promising endophytic strains with potential applications for enhancing crop growth and addressing oxidative stress. This study aims to uncover the diversity of endophytes residing within these medicinal plants
