Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of rhizosphere microbiomes associated with cochineal-resistant and susceptible cactus species.
This study uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to compare rhizosphere microbial communities associated with cochineal resistant and susceptible cactus species, with the goal of identifying differences in community composition and microbial taxa associated with resistance status. The resulting data provide a comparative resource for future studies on rhizosphere microbiomes and plant microbe insect interactions.
