Bacterial seed endophytes: genera, vertical transmission and interaction with plants
TL;DR: The role of seed-associated microorganisms, and especially seed endophytic bacteria, still is underestimated, but these associations could be beneficial for germination and seedling establishment as seed endophical bacteria are already present in these very early plant growth stages.

Comparative Evaluation of Four Bacteria-Specific Primer Pairs for 16S rRNA Gene Surveys.

TL;DR: Insilico evaluation of four bacterial primers for characterizing complex microbial communities in explosives contaminated and non-contaminated forest soil and by in silico evaluation against the current SILVA123 database suggests the high utility of primer pair 341f/785r for soil and plant-associated bacterial microbiome studies.
Performance of 16s rDNA Primer Pairs in the Study of Rhizosphere and Endosphere Bacterial Microbiomes in Metabarcoding Studies

TL;DR: It is shown that primer pair 799F-1391R outperforms all other primer pairs in the study of the bacterial microbiomes present in the rhizosphere soil, root, stem and leaf endosphere of field-grown poplar trees and in the elimination of non-target DNA and retrieval of bacterial OTUs.

Potential of the TCE-degrading endophyte Pseudomonas putida W619-TCE to improve plant growth and reduce TCE phytotoxicity and evapotranspiration in poplar cuttings.
Nele Weyens,Sascha Truyens,Joke Dupae,Lee A. Newman,Safiyh Taghavi,Daniel van der Lelie,Robert Carleer,Jaco Vangronsveld +7 more
TL;DR: Here, inoculation with P. putida W619-TCE had a less pronounced positive effect on plant growth and TCE phytotoxicity, but resulted in strongly reduced amounts of TCE in leaves and roots of plants exposed to 400 mg l(-1) TCE, accompanied by a lowered evapotranspiration of T CE.

Changes in the population of seed bacteria of transgenerationally Cd-exposed Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: The hypothesis that certain endophytes are selected for transfer to the next generation and that their presence might be important for subsequent germination and early seedling development is supported.
