Rice endophytes (fungi & bacteria) metagenomics raw data submission
Rice samples were (leaf, sheath, and panicle) from Khordha district of Odisha for microbiome analysis. Both healthy and infected rice sample (false smut disease infected) were collected from the rice genotype Bheema to enable comparative metagenomic profiling. The study aims to characterize and compare the microbial community structure, diversity, and potential functional attributes associated with infected and healthy samples. The generated metagenomic data will help identify microbial taxa linked with plant health and disease, providing insights into host-microbiome interactions in rice.
