Seed banks as incidental fungi banks: Fungal endophyte diversity in stored seeds of banana wild relatives by Hill, Rowena, Llewellyn, Theo, Downes, Elizabeth, Oddy, Joseph, MacIntosh, Catrona, Kallow, Simon, Panis, Bartholomeus, Dickie, John B., Gaya, Ester

“…Seed banks were first established to conserve crop genetic diversity, but seed banking has more recently been extended to wild plants, particularly crop wild relatives (CWRs) (e.g., by the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB), Royal Botanic Gardens Kew). CWRs have been recognised as potential reservoirs of beneficial traits for our domesticated crops, and with mounting evidence of the importance of the microbiome to organismal health, it follows that the microbial communities of wild relatives could also be a valuable resource for crop resilience to environmental and pathogenic threats. …”
