Early seed priming with closely related Bacillus strains induces divergent physiological and defense responses in melon

Luisa Carrégalo-Ríos, Carlos Molina‐Santiago, María Victoria Berlanga‐Clavero…·Diego Romero

This study shows that melon seeds primed with two closely related Bacillus strains trigger different physiological and defense responses based on microbial identity and inoculum dose.
