The paper tests synthetic microbial communities on radish seeds to protect against a fungal pathogen, finding that multi-kingdom communities provide the best protection.

This study shows that bacterial strain identity and community composition influence seed-to-seedling microbiota assembly, with microbial interactions affecting colonization success.

This study inoculates synthetic bacterial communities on seeds to assess their transient colonization and legacy effects on plant microbiota across the life cycle.
