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

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.

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.

The paper identifies lactuchelins, novel lipopeptide siderophores from Pseudomonas lactucae, which inhibit Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004 through iron chelation.

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.
