New preprint led by @logansuteau.bsky.social ! What really drives the success of seed-applied multi-kingdom SynComs ? -> Strain selection matters more than assembly strategy -> SynComs can reshape native bacterial communities via recruitment from soil and network integration doi.org/10.64898/202...

Seed-applied multi-kingdom synthetic communities selectively reshape bacterial communities and highlight key criteria for strain selection

Defined microbial communities (also known as synthetic communities) are showing promising results for plant health but are lacking an efficient lab to field transition. This is the due to limited know...

New RESEARCH ARTICLE - Seed tuber microbiome can predict growth potential of potato varieties By Yang Song, Roeland Berendsen & colleagues www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Seed tuber microbiome can predict growth potential of potato varieties - Nature Microbiology

Time-resolved drone imaging of potato crop development and seed tuber microbiome data can be used to predict potato vigour, or growth potential, in next-season crops in trial fields.
