Diversity and Biological Characteristics of Seed-Borne Bacteria of Achnatherum splendens.

ABSTRACT: As a high-quality plant resource for ecological restoration, Achnatherum splendens has strong adaptability and wide distribution. It is a constructive species of alkaline grassland in Northwest China. The close relationship between seed-borne bacteria and seeds causes a specific co-evolutionary effect which can enhance the tolerance of plants under various stresses. In this study, 272 bacterial isolates were isolated from the seeds of Achnatherum splendens in 6 different provinces of China. In total, 41 dominant strains were identified, and their motility, biofilm formation ability and antibiotic resistance were analyzed. The results showed that the bacteria of Achnatherum splendens belonged to 3 phyla and 14 genera, of which Firmicutes was the dominant phylum and Baci
