Nicotiana tabacum and Vitis vinifera as suitable growth-chamber models for microinjection-based studies of Xylella fastidiosa

This study compares microinjection-based infection models of Xylella fastidiosa in Vitis vinifera, Nicotiana tabacum, and other hosts under controlled growth-chamber conditions, finding high bacterial detection in V. vinifera and N. tabacum.

Vertical transmission of core endophytes through the seeds

This study identifies Pantoea as a core endophytic bacterium vertically transmitted through wheat seeds, demonstrating its intergenerational transfer and specificity.
