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

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.

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 mines NCBI Sequence Read Archive data to identify new Xylella species, host plants, and geographic distributions, revealing potential new strains and infected areas.

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

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

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

The paper uses a multi-omic approach to study Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans interaction with common bean seeds, revealing a dynamic molecular dialogue and proposing a 'ceasefire' model for seed-pathogen interaction.

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 paper introduces a workflow for computing and visualizing genome sequence relatedness using k-mer counts, achieving similar precision to ANI but faster, and integrates it into a user-friendly tool.

The paper develops tetraplex qPCR assays for detecting and identifying Xylella fastidiosa subspecies in plant tissues, showing improved sensitivity and subspecies differentiation compared to existing methods.
