This study isolates and characterizes Pseudomonas aeruginosa SPT08, an endophyte that inhibits bacterial wilt in tomato and promotes plant growth.

This paper describes the discovery and characterization of a novel probiotic bacterium, Luteibacter sahnii, isolated from rice seeds, highlighting its probiotic properties and potential role in plant health.

The paper corrects the misidentification of Xanthomonas sacchari as the core rice seed endophyte, identifying Xanthomonas sontii as the correct, vertically transmitted, non-pathogenic species.

The paper isolates and characterizes a new non-pathogenic Xanthomonas species, X. protegens, from rice seeds and highlights its probiotic properties and taxonomic distinctiveness.

This study investigates the genomic diversity and bio-protection function of Xanthomonas indica, a non-pathogenic rice-associated species, revealing its evolutionary insights and potential role in plant defense.
