Root Microbiome Dynamics in Drought-Tolerant and Susceptible Bermudagrass Cultivars Under drought
This study investigates how plant genotype and drought stress shape the root-associated microbiome across three turfgrass species. By integrating amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing, the data provide insights into microbial community structure and functional potential in bulk soil, rhizosphere, and endosphere compartments. These datasets will support research on plantmicrobiome interactions, drought tolerance mechanisms, and the potential integration of microbiome traits into plant breeding strategies.
