Silk-trehalose seed coating technology preserves <i>Rhizobium tropici</i> viability and enhances zinc biofortification in common bean under marginal soil conditions.

Seeds coated with formulation containing silk (SB and STB) showed a highly significant bacterial charge and limited variability in preservation performance when compared to the other formulations, indicating the key role of the hydrophobic structural protein in providing a reliable formulation to preserve the inoculant during long-term storage ( Apiwattanasiri et al., 2022 ).
