Paper alert! Excited to share our latest publication on the influence of breeding activities on the seed microbiome of Kernza, a perennial wheat Kristina Michl Gabriele Berg Tomi Cernava …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Partners in Austria show the Kernza® perennial grain crops have a more diverse microbiome below ground in the soil than annual crops. More diversity could mean healthier, more productive soils.🇦🇹

It’s out! Discover how plant domestication shapes endophytic bacterial communities in Cannabis seeds and its potential for microbiome-assisted crop improvement and sustainable production. 🌱🔬 doi.org/10.1186/s40168… Tomi Cernava Gabriele Berg @jmachadofreitas Isabella Kögl TU Graz

The cannabis #seed #microbiome The paper highlights the impact of breeding, which may lead to the loss of beneficial bacteria. I wonder if there is a link to plant chemistry. buff.ly/3PY8HdJ Carolina Lobato Isabella Kögl Tomi Cernava Gabriele Berg

New out! Perennial wheatgrass #Kernza fosters a higher bacterial diversity in the root endoshpere, which is not only influenced by the plant genotype but also by soil chemical and microbial parameters. 🦠🌱 academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art… Tomi Cernava Gabriele Berg NAPERDIV
