Background The development and dispersal of seeds as well as their transition to seedlings
represent perhaps the most critical stages of a plant's life cycle. The endophytic and …

Cereals such as maize, rice, wheat and sorghum are the most important crops for human
nutrition. Like other plants, cereals associate with diverse bacteria (including nitrogen-fixing …

Phytobeneficial microbes, particularly endophytes, such as fungi and bacteria, are
concomitant partners of plants throughout its developmental stages, including seed …

A large portion of the earth's surface consists of arid, semi-arid and hyper-arid lands. Life in
these regions is profoundly challenged by harsh environmental conditions of water …

Plant microbiota have different effects on the plant which can be beneficial or pathogenic. In
this study, we concentrated on beneficial microbes associated with plants using endophytic …

The rhizosphere is colonized by a mass of microbes, including bacteria capable of
promoting plant growth that carry out complex interactions. Here, by using a sterile …

Seed microbiome includes special endophytic or epiphytic microbial taxa associated with
seeds, which affects seed germination, plant growth, and health. Here, we analyzed the core …

Exponential upsurge in the global population growth rate claims sustainable means to fulfill
their food requirements. Therefore, the collaboration of beneficial microorganisms with their …

Seed-associated bacteria represent an important reservoir of microorganisms passed onto
progeny plants and have been postulated to be important for early plant development and …

Wheat is one of the world's most important crops, but its production relies heavily on
agrochemical inputs which can be harmful to the environment when used excessively. It is …
