Some estimates predict that the usage of contaminated seeds can lead to yield reductions ranging from 15% to 90% (Vishunavat et al., 2023). Bacteriophages as specialized viruses of bacteria could, in this context, offer a promising basis for developing targeted and sustainable biocontrol strategies.Our work starts with de novo phage isolation against five prominent plant bacterial pathogens followed by phage characterization (Erdrich et al., 2022 Viruses). Furthermore, we investigated the tripartite interaction between Arabidopsis thaliana, the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, and the lytic phage Seregon. Using parallel transcriptomic profiling, we characterized host and pathogen responses during infection and phage treatment. We can show that phage application reduces the burden on plant immunity through suppression of bacterial virulence (Erdrich et al., 2025 BioRxiv). Finally, with an aim to application we asked the question of phage binding onto seeds. Using a simple immersion method, phages coated onto seeds successfully lysed bacteria post air-drying. The seed coat mucilage (SCM), a polysaccharide–polymer matrix exuded by seeds, plays a critical role in phage binding (Erdrich et al 2024., Microb Biotechnol). These findings highlight phage- based interventions as promising, sustainable strategies for combating pathogen resistance and improving crop yield. 001050623 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2171$$a2171 - Biological and environmental resources for sustainable use (POF4-217)$$cPOF4-217$$fPOF IV$$x0 001050623 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)208843$$aSharma, Swati$$b1$$ufzj 001050623 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)203355$$aKeilhammer, Mirco$$b2$$ufzj 001050623 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)129402$$aSchurr, Ulrich$$b3$$ufzj 001050623 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aGrossmann$$b4 001050623 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)138503$$aFrunzke, Julia$$b5$$ufzj 001050623 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)165155$$aArsova, Borjana$$b6$$eCorresponding author$$ufzj 001050623 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1050623/files/Abstract-JKI_Arsova20112025.docx$$yOpenAccess 001050623 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1050623$$popenaire$$popen_access$$pVDB$$pdriver 001050623 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)185818$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 001050623 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)208843$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 001050623 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)203355$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b2$$kFZJ 001050623 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)129402$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b3$$kFZJ 001050623 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)138503$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b5$$kFZJ 001050623 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)165155$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b6$$kFZJ 001050623 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-217$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-210$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-200$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2171$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Erde und Umwelt$$lErde im Wandel – Unsere Zukunft nachhaltig gestalten$$vFür eine nachhaltige Bio-Ökonomie – von Ressourcen zu Produkten$$x0 001050623 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001050623 920__ $$lyes 001050623 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IBG-2-20101118$$kIBG-2$$lPflanzenwissenschaften$$x0 001050623 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IBG-1-20101118$$kIBG-1$$lBiotechnologie$$x1 001050623 9801_ $$aFullTexts 001050623 980__ $$atalk 001050623 980__ $$aVDB 001050623 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 001050623 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-2-20101118 001050623 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-1-20101118
