Bacterial culture collection of four major crops covering different genotypes and production modes.
Seed microbiota play a crucial role in plant health and development, yet remain understudied compared to other plant-associated microbial communities. This study aimed to characterize seed microbiota diversity across four major crops (common bean, rapeseed, tomato, and wheat) and establish a comprehensive strain collection of seed-borne bacteria. We sequenced a portion of the gyrB gene for more than 3,400 bacterial isolates from 68 seed samples representing diverse genotypes and production modes in order to identify them.
