The Zoige pioneer plant Leymus secalinus has different endophytic bacterial community structures to adapt to environmental conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Leymus secalinus is a pioneer plant grown in the Zoige desertified alpine grassland and it is also one of the dominant plant species used for environmental remediation. L. secalinus plays a large role in vegetation reconstruction in sandy land, but the abundance and diversity of its endophytes have not yet been investigated.

Objectives

This study was performed to investigate the changes in the endophytic bacterial community structure of L. secalinus under different ecological environments and to analyze the effects of environmental changes and different plant tissues on the L. secalinus endophytic bacteria.

Methods

Leaf, stem, and root tissue samples of L. secalinus were collected from Zoige Glassland (Alpine sandy land) a
