🌾🦠 Seeds carry more than genes! We provide the first experimental proof that Pantoea bacteria are vertically transmitted across wheat generations via seeds — the first such evidence in cereals. 📄 Read: https://t.co/R1ZDpkvlbD

Thrilled to share our latest paper now out in @ScienceMagazine 🎉🤩 We investigated a century of plasmid evolution 🧬 and uncovered how they have adapted to the antibiotic era 💊

Plasmids are now the primary vectors of antimicrobial resistance, but our understanding of how human industrialisation of antibiotics influenced their evolution is limited by a paucity of data...

4/ Why it matters: 🔹 Vertical transmission = stable, inheritable plant–microbe partnerships 🔹 Potential roles in plant health, adaptation, and evolution 🔹 Opens new routes for microbiome-based crop improvement #Microbiology #Agriculture #FoodSecurity

3/ Experimental breakthrough: ✅ Labelled Pantoea inoculated in parent plants ✅ Detected in next-generation seeds & seedlings ➡ This experimentally demonstrates specific intergenerational (vertical) transmission.

2/ Pantoea is the unique core endophyte in wheat seeds worldwide. 🌍 Detected in seeds from diverse origins 🌱 Persists in roots, shoots, spikes, and seeds 📈 Its relative abundance increases across plant tissues

What a NAR issue! 2 - check out the NAR paper by @FdlC61 group on how increase specific targetting by conjugation in complex populations by the expression on the surface of donor of specific nanobodies (Nb) ! https://t.co/KAJjsLK1G1 Congrats to all!

Who else than @FdlC61 could be in the team behind this amazing proof of concept?!? Plasmids rock!

It will help us understand the role of plasmids in more complex microbiota, such as the human gut DOI: 10.3390/jcm9051369

This is our start in the analysis of microbial communities. Our next aim will be to assess the roles of the #plasmidome in the evolution of these model communities. #Plasmids provide adaptive functions in these and many other consortia
