In this study, we isolated two strains of rhizosphere bacteria separately from invasive and native . We conducted a control experiment to test the effects of these bacteria on the growth and competition of the two plant species using sterile seedlings.

In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between endophytic microbes and the functional traits of the invasive plant . We explored the relationship between endophytes and the clonal growth traits of the invasive clonal plant from different geographical latitudes using high-throughput sequencing technology and a common garden-planting experiment.
