Seed Embryo Endophytic Bacterial Diversity Analysis in different cucurbits
This study was aimed at assessing the endophytic bacterial diversity associated with the seed embryos in different cucurbits adopting cultivation versus cultivation-independent 16S rRNA V3-V4 region taxonomic profiling. The crops included watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, pumpkin and bottle gourd. The findings indicated the embryo colonization by diverse bacteria in a cultivation recalcitrant form and their vertical transmissibility.
