Geographically Disperse, Culturable Seed-Associated Microbiota in Forage Plants of Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.) and Pitch Clover (<i>Bituminaria bituminosa</i> L.): Characterization of Beneficial Inherited Strains as Plant Stress-Tolerance Enhancers

Geographically Disperse, Culturable Seed-Associated Microbiota in Forage Plants of Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.) and Pitch Clover (<i>Bituminaria bituminosa</i> L.): Characterization of Beneficial Inherited Strains as Plant Stress-Tolerance Enhancers

Agricultural production is being affected by increasingly harsh conditions caused by climate change. The vast majority of crops suffer growth and yield declines due to a lack of water or intense heat. Hence, commercial legume crops suffer intense losses of production (20–80%). This situation is even...
