Seed endophytic bacterium induces a priming-like drought transcriptomic state in an invasive plant prior to stress exposure.

Results are consistent with the hypothesis that YJ6 infection may establish a priming-like transcriptomic state before drought exposure, and suggest a possible transcriptomic basis for seedborne microbe-mediated stress tolerance in invasive plants, although priming remains to be tested directly.
