New work in @newphyt.bsky.social: fruit isn’t not only for #seed dispersal, it filters and redirects #microbiome assembly in the next plant generation. This should change how we think about inheritance beyond #seeds. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Impact of fruit decomposition on soil and plant microbiomes. (a) Fruits harbor their own microbiome, which is released into the soil upon decomposition. (b) Fruit decomposition changes the soil microbiome by introducing fruit-associated microbes and altering microbial interactions. (c) As seeds germinate, the enriched soil microbiome colonizes the emerging plant, influencing the microbial assembly in roots and shoots. This interplay between fruit decomposition, soil microbial dynamics, and plant colonization suggests that fruits may play an active role in shaping the microbiome of the next plant generation beyond seed dispersal. This figure was created in BioRender (https://BioRender.com/tw7zbn6).
