What is Invasive Lactuca serriola seeds contain endophytic bacteria that contribute to drought tolerance about?
The mutualistic relationship between alien plant species and microorganisms is proposed to facilitate or hinder invasive success, depending on whether plants can form novel associations with microorganisms in the introduced habitats. However, this hypothesis has not considered seed endophytes that would move together with plant propagules. Little information is available on the seed endophytic bacteria of invasive species and their effects on plant performance. We isolated the seed endophytic bacteria of a xerophytic invasive plant, __Lactuca serriola__, and examined their plant growth-promoting traits. In addition, we assessed whether these seed endophytes contributed to plant drought tolerance. Forty-two bacterial species were isolated from seeds, and all of them exhibited at least one plant growth-promoting trait. __Kosakonia cowanii__ occurred in all four tested plant populations and produced a high concentration of exopolysaccharides in media with a highly negative water potential. Notably, applying __K. cowanii__ GG1 to __Arabidopsis thaliana__ stimulated plant growth under drought conditions. It also reduced soil water loss under drought conditions, suggesting bacterial prod
