Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Maize seed and root samples contained 416 bacterial genera.
- Observation Pantoea, Lachnospiraceae, Pararhizobium, Enterobacteriaceae, Stenotrophomonas, and Pseudonocardia were most prevalent, above 10% relative abundance.
- Association Seed endophyte Chao1, ACE, Shannon, and Simpson diversity indices did not differ significantly among the three varieties.
- Observation PCoA showed notable overlap among the seed bacterial communities of the three maize varieties.
- Observation Seed endophyte communities also formed clustering patterns.
- Observation Each maize variety shared over 30% of endophytic bacteria between seeds and germinating roots.
