Abstract Wheat ( Triticum sp.) is a staple cereal crop, providing nearly fifth of the world's protein and available calories. While fungi associated with wheat plants have been known for centuries, attention to seeds has increased over last hundred years. Initially, research focused on fungal taxa that cause seed‐borne diseases. Seeds act as physical link between generations host specialized communities affect seed dormancy, germination, quality, disease susceptibility. Interest in beneficial, non‐disease‐causing grown since discovery Epichloë fescue, leading search beneficial endophytes grains. Recent studies mycobiome shown disease, development, temporal variation significantly influence composition structure these communities. This research, primarily descriptive, aims better understand mycobiome's function relation plant host. A deeper understanding functionality may offer potential microbiome‐assisted breeding.

Abstract Background Beyond carrying the plant embryo, seeds harbour intricate microbial communities whose transmission across successive generations can significantly influence ecological and evolutionary dynamics of plant–microbe symbioses. The process domestication has potential repercussions in genes involved plant-microbiome interactions. However, extent to which breeding impact seed microbiome is sparsely explored. Cannabis a high-value crop but subjected agricultural innovations established other species during last century. Here, we conduct large-scale analysis bacterial different grades investigate seed-associated endophytes as growth-promoting agents under both controlled field conditions. Results Analysis endophyte composition diversity 46 genotypes revealed 813 genera with predominance Gammaproteobacteria, Bacilli, Actinobacteria Alphaproteobacteria genotype-specific microbiome. assessment on assembly higher low (Shannon index, H′: 1.21 vs. 1.05) homogeneity caused by line development. Further, isolate ( Bacillus frigoritolerans C1141) associated genotypes, bio-fertilization, bioremediation phytohormone production, increased growth 42.3% at time harvest, Conclusion This study addresses critical knowledge gaps related seed-endophytic It reveals that linked alterations communities, potentially led loss bacteria functional significance. These results highlight importance preserving microbiomes support sustainable health enhancement .
