Biodiversity, phylogenetic profiling, and mechanisms of colonization of seed microbiomes (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This chapter explores the role of endophytic microbes in seed microbiomes and their significance in plant health and ecology. It discusses the mechanisms of microbial colonization, the diversity of microbial species residing within seeds, and the transmission processes of seed endophytes. Furthermore, the content emphasizes the importance of understanding these interactions to enhance agricultural practices and develop strategies for promoting plant growth in the face of environmental stresses.
