Summary
These data include measurements of root and shoot lengths of Rice (Oryza sativa) and Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) that were inoculated with nine endophytic bacterial isolates. The tabular data represent growth promotion and fungal infection susceptibility information. They also show the infection rate of F. oxysporum on Rice (Oryza sativa), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) and Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua) when inoculated with SY1.

Fungal Disease Prevention in Seedlings of Rice (Oryza sativa) and Other Grasses by Growth-Promoting Seed-Associated Endophytic Bacteria from Invasive Phragmites australis
Non-cultivated plants carry microbial endophytes that may be used to enhance development and disease resistance of crop species where growth-promoting and protective microbes may have been lost. During seedling establishment, seedlings may be infected by several fungal pathogens that are seed or soil borne. The study associated with this data set screened nine endophytic bacteria isolated from the seeds of invasive Phragmites australis (ssp. australis) by inoculating onto rice (Oryza sativa), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), and Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua) seeds to evaluate plant growth promotion and protection from disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Phragmites australis is extremely invasive and damaging to natural habitats and native plant species. The goal of the associated research was to gain an understanding of the roles that endophytic bacteria play in promoting the growth of Phragmites australis. Understanding bacterial interaction with Phragmites australis may lead to effective management.
