16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of peel endophytic bacterial communities across four developmental stages in five citrus cultivars
This project profiles peel endophytic bacterial communities in five citrus cultivars at four fruit developmental stages using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The data were generated to examine how endophytic bacterial community composition changes during citrus fruit development and how these changes vary among cultivars, providing a resource for studying microbiome succession in relation to peel associated developmental traits.
