DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2025.1660250
Abstract: Seed microbiomes represent a critical yet underexplored dimension of plant-associated microbial communities, with potential to enhance crop resilience and sustainability. While plant microbiomes have gained prominence, the diversity and composition of seed-associated bacteria—especially across wild… read more here.
