[Objective] The study aimed to investigate the growth-promoting activities of endophytic bacteria from tomato plants. [Method] The endophytic bacteria isolated from different tissues of tomato plants were analyzed for the effects of their growth-promoting activities on the germination and growth of tomato. The bacteria with growth-promoting activity were preliminarily identified. [Result] Totally 59 endophytic bacterial strains were isolated from roots and stems of tomatoes, among which 4 showed significantly growth-promoting activity to germination and growth of tomato. The results suggest that these strains are endowed with the potential capability of growth-promoting. [Conclusion] The endophytic bacteria with growth-promoting activity were found among the isolates from tomato plants. This provided good foundation for utilization of these bacteria with growth-promoting activity.
