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.

Stable, multigenerational transmission of the bean seed microbiome despite abiotic stress

This study tracks how drought or nutrient excess affects the transmission of bacterial communities in bean seeds across generations, finding stable transmission of 22 bacterial members regardless of parental treatment.

Seedling microbiota engineering using bacterial synthetic community inoculation on seeds

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.

The Type VI secretion system of Stenotrophomonas rhizophila CFBP13503 limits the transmission of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004 from radish seeds to seedlings

This study shows that the T6SS of S. rhizophila CFBP13503 inhibits Xcc8004 growth and transmission from radish seeds to seedlings.

Transmission of synthetic seed bacterial communities to radish seedlings: impact on microbiota assembly and plant phenotype

This study inoculates radish seeds with synthetic bacterial communities to assess their impact on microbiota assembly and plant phenotype, finding that some core taxa have detrimental effects on seedling development.

The impact of the rice production system (irrigated vs lowland) on root-associated microbiome from farmer's fields in western Burkina Faso

The paper compares root-associated microbiomes in irrigated and rainfed lowland rice systems in Burkina Faso, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and community structure.

Seed microbiota revealed by a large-scale meta-analysis including 50 plant species

This study conducts a meta-analysis of 63 seed microbiota studies across 50 plant species, identifying core and flexible microbial taxa and their global distribution.

Single seed microbiota: assembly and transmission from parent plant to seedling

This study investigates seed microbiota assembly and transmission in bean and radish, showing that dominant bacterial taxa vary between plants and seeds, and that seed-borne taxa influence seedling phenotype.

Predation by protists influences the temperature response of microbial communities

This study shows that protist predation alters the temperature response of microbial communities, reducing respiration at higher temperatures through phylum-specific bacterial responses.

Asymmetric outcome of community coalescence of seed and soil microbiota during early seedling growth

The paper studies how seed and soil microbiota merge during seedling growth, finding that soil microbiota dominate the resulting communities.

Influence of plant genotype and soil on the wheat rhizosphere microbiome: Evidences for a core microbiome across eight African and European soils

The paper investigates the influence of wheat genotype and soil on the rhizosphere microbiome, identifying a core microbiome across diverse soils.

Rare Microbial Taxa Emerge When Communities Collide: Freshwater and Marine Microbiome Responses to Experimental Seawater Intrusion

This study examines how freshwater and marine microbial communities respond to seawater intrusion, finding that rare taxa play a key role in resilience during community coalescence.
