A conserved Rhs module associated with the type VI secretion system facilitates effector innovation and immunity acquisition for ecological adaptation of Stenotrophomonas species

This study identifies a conserved Rhs module in Stenotrophomonas species linked to T6SS effector innovation and immunity, enabling ecological adaptation in saline niches.

The efficiency of different transmission routes of Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans and other seed-borne bacteria to bean seeds.

The paper quantifies the efficiency of different transmission routes for Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans and other seed-borne bacteria to bean seeds, finding the vascular route most efficient and identifying plant immunity as a bottleneck.

Seed Microbiota Diversity and Culture Collection of Four Major Crops Covering Different Genotypes and Production Modes

This study characterizes seed microbiota diversity across four crops and establishes a strain collection using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods, revealing significant variation influenced by genotype and production mode.

T6SS-mediated competition by Stenotrophomonas rhizophila shapes seed-borne bacterial communities and seed-to-seedling transmission dynamics

This study shows that T6SS-mediated competition by S. rhizophila influences seed microbiota composition and seed-to-seedling transmission dynamics.
