Temporal Dynamics of the Barley Seed Microbiome: A Meta-omics Perspective. Hordeum vulgare

We sequenced microbial DNA extracted from barley seed samples of the 'Kadie' cultivar. All samples were cultivated in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. A total of 8 samples were collected at distinct post-harvest storage time points: 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months. This sequencing effort aims to provide insights into the microbial communities associated with barley seeds over time, and to understand any potential changes in these communities as the seeds are stored.
