Insights into quinoa endophytes: core bacterial communities reveal high stability to water stress and genotypic variation by Isaac Maestro-Gaitán, Miguel Redondo-Nieto, Sara González-Bodí, Laura Rodríguez-Casillas, Javier Matías, Luis Bolaños, María Reguera

“…Our findings reveal distinct changes with quinoa seeds exhibiting a high degree of conservation in their endophytic microbiome, even between maternal and offspring seeds, with specific bacterial taxa showing only minor differences. Tissue specificity emerged as a key factor, with seeds maintaining a stable microbial community, while roots exhibited more pronounced shifts, highlighting the tissue-dependent patterns of microbial enrichment. …”
