“…It is important to acknowledge that some B. cenocepacia strains are pathogenic to humans, particularly to immunocompromised individuals 53 . Conversely, other B. cenocepacia strains are non-pathogenic and deemed safe 54,55 . Hence, it is feasible to strategically incorporate non-pathogenic strains in inoculants or synthetic microbiomes to harness the beneficial features of B. cenocepacia as a PGPB, while mitigating potential risks to human health.…”

The plant seed-borne microbiome comprises microorganisms vertically inherited from the mother plant. This microbiome is often linked to early-life protection and seedling growth promotion. Here, we compare the seed-borne bacteriomes of a commercial hybrid and a landrace maize variety. The landrace variety displays a more diverse seed-borne microbiome, featuring a variety of taxa across samples. In contrast, the microbiome of the hybrid variety is less diverse and more uniform across samples. Although both microbiomes lack a functional nitrogen fixation apparatus, we found a remarkably distinct presence of genes associated with phytohormone production and phosphate solubilization, particularly in the landrace variety. In addition, we recovered 18 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), including four from potentially novel species. Collectively, our results allow a better understanding of the contrasting diversity between maize varieties and open important perspectives for designing synthetic microbial communities for agroecosystems.
