Halophyte microbiome contributes significantly to plant performance and can provide information regarding complex ecological processes involved in osmoregulation of these plants. The objective of this study is to investigate the microbiomes associated with belowground (rhizosphere), internal (endosphere) and aboveground (phyllosphere) tissues of halophyte (Salsola stocksii) through metagenomics approach. Plant samples were collected from Khewra Salt Mines. The metagenomic DNA from soil

. littoralis using next-generation sequencing technology. It was the first study to illustrate the characteristic of endophytic bacteria related to the halophyte G. littoralis in a Chinese coastal area. This study will show a new perspective in endophytic diversity studies of salt-tolerance plants and provide a foundation for future research.
