Objective: To study the dominant seed-borne fungi of Glycyrrihiza seeds which were from different producing area and compare the disinfection effect of several fungicides on seed-borne fungi of Glycyrrihiza seed.

Method: Petri-dish testing was used to determine the external and internal seed-borne fungi and the disinfection effect of fungicides.

Result And Conclusion: The result showed that the amount of spore on the surface of one Glycyrrihiza seed varied from 0.3% to 37.0% among samples. Penicillium spp. and Aspergillus spp. were the two major dominant fungi and there was few differences in the type of the fungi among producing areas but differences in the isolation frequency of the furgi; Penicillium spp. , Rhizopus spp. , Aspergillus spp. and Alternaria spp. were the internally dominant seed-borne fungi, including seed capsule and the internal tissue of seed and their fungi-carrying percentage was 8.0%-48.3% and 3.5%-42.0% respectively. There were differences in fungi percentage and dominant seed borne fungi among different producing areas. The disinfection effect of both mancozeb and thriam was up to 89.0%, so it is suggested to use them to disinfect Glycyrrihiza seed.

Inoculation with the PGPB Herbaspirillum seropedicae shapes both the structure and putative functions of the wheat microbiome and causes changes in the levels of various plant metabolites described to be involved in plant growth and health. Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) can establish metabolic imprints in their hosts, contributing to the improvement of plant health in different ways. However, while PGPB imprints on plant metabolism have been extensively characterized, much less is known regarding those affecting plant indigenous microbiomes, and hence it remains unknown whether both processes occur simultaneously.

State Key Laboratory of Plant Genomics, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100101, China.

Background: Rice cultivation relies on planting grains harboring beneficial microbiota. However, the origination, distribution, and transmission dynamics of grain-borne bacteria remain unclear.

Results: Using rice grain as a model system, this study investigates the primary sources, major niches in seeds, and the dynamics of community acquisition, maintenance, and transmission between generations of grain-borne bacteria.

Seed coating with fungicides is a common practice in controlling seed-borne diseases, but conventional methods often result in high toxicity to plants and soil. In this study, a nanoparticle formulation was successfully developed using the metal-organic framework UiO-66 as a carrier of the fungicide ipconazole (IPC), with a tannic acid (TA)-Zn coating serving as a protective layer. The IPC@UiO-66-TA-Zn nanoparticles provided a controlled release, triggered and regulated by environmental factors such as pH and temperature.
