Abstract:Heavy metal (HM) contaminants are the emerging driving force for reshaping the microflora of plants by eradicating the non-tolerance and non-resistant microbes via their lethal effects. Seeds serve as a primary source of microbial transmission from one plant generation to the next however, being exposed to metal contamination reshapes their microflora through generations. In this study, the endophytic diversity was compared within Zea mays seeds between three distinct regions in Yunnan province China i.e., HM-… Show more
