The paper tests synthetic microbial communities on radish seeds to protect against a fungal pathogen, finding that multi-kingdom communities provide the best protection.

This study identifies metabolites and microbiota associated with germination speed and emergence in common bean by integrating morphometrics, metabolomics, and microbiome analysis across eight varieties.

This study evaluates how multi-kingdom synthetic communities affect plant microbiota during seedling development, identifying key strain selection criteria and ecological factors influencing colonization.

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.

This study shows that bacterial strain identity and community composition influence seed-to-seedling microbiota assembly, with microbial interactions affecting colonization success.

The paper investigates how bacteria from watermelon flowers contribute to seed microbiota and plant fitness, finding that floral transmission significantly influences bacterial diversity and seed germination.

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

This study inoculates synthetic bacterial communities on seeds to assess their transient colonization and legacy effects on plant microbiota across the life cycle.

This study characterizes seed-associated yeast diversity across nine plant species, finding that Basidiomycota yeasts, particularly from the Tremellomycetes class, dominate the microbiome.

This study develops a method to engineer seedling microbiota using synthetic bacterial communities inoculated on seeds, showing they dominate seedling microbiota and influence plant fitness.
