The Role of Soil Microbial Diversity in the Conservation of Native Seed Bacterial Microbiomes.

ABSTRACT: Research into understanding the structure, composition and vertical transmission of crop seed microbiomes has intensified, although there is much less research into the seed microbiomes of crop wild relatives. Our previous study showed that the standard seed storage procedures (e.g., seed drying and storage temperature) can influence the seed microbiome of domesticated Glycine max. In this study, we characterized the seed microbiota of Glycine clandestina, a perennial wild relative of soybean (G. max (L.) Merr.) to expand our understanding about the effect of other storage procedures such as the periodic regeneration of seed stocks to bulk up seed numbers and secure viability on the seed microbiome of said seed. The G. clandestina microbiota was analysed from Ge
