Summary

Bacteria were isolated from seeds of non-native Phragmites australis (haplotype M) then representatives were evaluated for their capacities to become intracellular in root cells, and their effects on: 1.) germination rates and seedling growth, 2.) susceptibility to damping-off disease, and 3.) mortality and growth of competitor plant seedlings (dandelion (Taraxacum officionale F. H. Wigg) and curly dock (Rumex crispus L.)). The experiments included the following assessments of Phragmites-associated bacteria (Pseudomonas spp, strains Sandy LB4 (Pseudomonas fluorescens) and West 9 (Pseudomonas sp.)): capacity for plant growth promotion (using Poa annua seeds), Poa annua and Phragmites australis seed germination and seedling root architecture, [...]

Purpose

Data were collected to measure the amount of mortality caused by bacteria found on Phragmites seeds on other local plants. The data is used to calculate mortality as a proportion of all individuals in the experiment. Data were also collected to measure the amount of mortality caused by bacteria found on Phragmites seeds on a locally abundant plant species (Taraxacum officionale). Additionally, the data was used to estimate the effect of different bacterial species on the growth rate/success of Poa annua, and compared to a control with no bacteria. Data were also collected to assess the inhibition or mortality of dandelion seeds in Pseudomonas fluorescens Sandy LB4 bacterial inoculated soil compared to a no bacteria control. The data is used to compare between these two treatment groups. Lastly, the data were collected to record the effect of different combinations of bacterial species (and a no bacteria control) on initial plant growth. This can be used to analyze the importance of particular bacteria on plant growth and to estimate growth rates of this plant species under different bacterial conditions.
