Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a distinct entity among hematological malignancies of B-cell origin. It is characterized by its unique histopathological features and generally favorable prognosis. Over the years, advancements in understanding its pathogenesis, coupled with refined diagnostic and evaluation modalities, as well as therapeutic strategies, have significantly transformed the landscape of HL management.

This term encompasses many subtypes of AL that have been defined according to the immunophenotypic profile based on the expression of various lineage markers. This classification has been modified and enriched during the last decade thanks to the improvement of molecular biology techniques, which have led to reconsider the ontogenic proximity existing between certain forms of ALAL.

Compared to natural communities, these simplified consortia provide the opportunity to study ecological interactions at tractable scales, as well as facilitating reproducibility and fostering interdisciplinary science. However, the effective implementation of the SynCom approach requires several important considerations regarding the development and application of these model systems.

Our research objective was to investigate the consequences of the environmental conditions of the parent plant for bacterial seed microbiome assembly and transmission across plant generations. Using a fully factorial, three-generational experimental design, we investigated endophytic seed bacterial communities of common bean lines ( L.
