Indigenous Nigerian vegetables harbour plant species-specific seed microbial signatures for bacteria and fungi
Here, we investigated the seed microbiomes of five Nigerian indigenous vegetables: Amaranthus hybridus, Solanum macrocarpon, Corchorus olitorius, Celosia argentea, and Telfairia occidentalis. The findings highlight seed microbiome's role in plant resilience and potential for microbiome-informed breeding and sustainable agriculture.
