Host genome and bacterial taxa shape the Arabidopsis seed microbiome.
Article in EMBO reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Plant-microbiome interactions are crucial in shaping plant growth, stress resilience, and disease resistance. Among these, the seed microbiome plays a pivotal role in early plant development and ecological adaptation. However, little is known about the factors that determine the abundance and functions of the seed microbiome, as well as the role of the host genome in shaping the microbial diversity across different ecotypes. In this study, we investigated the diversity of the Arabidopsis seed microbiomes that originate from multiple geographical locations. High-throughput sequencing identified key bacterial taxa that govern Arabidopsis seed microbiota diversity. Distinct compositions of bacterial taxa were identified in Arabidopsis accessions sharing geographical location and similar soil features. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) revealed that both the abundance of key taxa and common functional traits are associated with specific host genetic loci such as the RNA-binding protein RPB47B, mutants of which showed altered physiological properties related to soil properties and microbial diversity. Overall, our study establishes that geographical, soil and genetic host factors shape the Arabidopsis seed microbiome.
