16S rRNA Sequencing of Tomato Defense Hormone Mutant Root Microbiome
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of defense hormones in shaping the tomato root bacterial community. The objectives were to 1)compare the rhizosphere and endosphere root bacterial communities of tomato defense hormone mutants for salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene and 2) examine natural differences in root microbiomes of tomato and wild relative genotypes, including 20 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between an S. lycopersicum (Hawaii7996) and an S. pimpinellifolium (West Virginia700).
