Seed Endophytes: Biology and Biotechnology

This book focuses on the importance and roles of seed microbiomes in sustainable agriculture by exploring the diversity of microbes vectored on and within seeds of both cultivated and non-cultivated plants. It provides essential insights into how seeds can be adapted to enhance microbiome vectoring, how damaged seed microbiomes can be assembled again and how seed microbiomes can be conserved.

Plant seeds carry not only embryos and nutrients to fuel early seedling growth, but also microbes ...
