“…Both pathogenic and non‐pathogenic microbes inhabit the seeds' endosphere, but the latter can trigger plant immunity. Pathogenic microbes usually affect plant health status and compete with the beneficial counterparts in the same econiches (Sultana et al, 2022 ). Conversely, beneficial microbes may impact positively on the plants and their absence can cause a change in seed microbial diversities and functions (Adeleke et al, 2022 ).…”

The scientific community increasingly recognized that seed microbiomes are important for plant growth and nutrition. The versatile roles and modulating properties that microbiomes hold in the context of seeds seem to be an inherited approach to avert adverse conditions. These discoveries attracted extensive interest, especially in staple food crops (SFCs) where grain was consumed as food. Along with the rapid expansion of population and industrialization that posed a severe challenge to the yield of SFCs, microbiologists and botanists began to explore and engineer seed microbiomes, for safer and more fruitful grain production. To utilize seed microbiomes, we present an overall review of the most updated scientific literature on three representative SFCs (wheat, rice and maize) using the 5W1H (Which, Where, What, Why, When and How) method that provides a comprehensive understanding of the issue. These include which factors determine the composition of seed microbiomes? Where do seed microbiomes come from? What are these seed microbes? Why do these microbes choose seeds as their destination and when do microbes settle down and become seed communists? In addition, how do seed microbiomes work and can be manipulated effectively? Therefore, answering the aforementioned questions regarding SFCs seed microbiomes remain fundamental in bridging endophytic research gaps and harnessing their ecological services.

Background The infestation of the fall armyworm [Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)] in maize is currently becoming a serious problem, and it might endanger the future maize crop in Egypt. We conducted this study for the current status of S. frugiperda infestation on maize and survey & identification of the associated fungi in Luxor Governorate, Egypt. S. frugiperda invasion began on maize plants were detected during the period from the 3rd week of June until the corn harvest. Results As for the larvae counts, and the infestation percentage, there were three peaks recorded for each of them in each season, which were displayed at 1st week of July, 1st week of August and 1st week of September in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. As well, there are the highly significant positive relationship between the larvae population and the percentages of Infestation by Pest. Conclusions Thirteen fungal species were recovered from infected maize ears (picks). The identified fungi are attributed to the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, Myrothecium, Penicillium, Rhizopus, and Trichoderma. The fungal species; A. flavus, A. welwitschiae and A. niger, A. brasiliensis had the highest incidences followed by T. viride and P. variable. These findings can help farmers and decision-makers form effective strategies to control this pest.
