Temporal dynamics of the leaf endophytic microbiome of Sinningia aggregata across three consecutive years
This study investigated the temporal dynamics of the leaf endophytic microbiome of Sinningia aggregata across three consecutive years. Leaf samples were collected during the August–September sampling period in 2019, 2020, and 2021 in Valinhos, São Paulo State, Brazil. For each year, young and visibly healthy leaves from five plants were pooled to generate one annual composite sample. Bacterial and fungal communities were characterized using amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene V3–V4 region and the fungal ITS region, respectively. The study aimed to describe recurrent and year-specific microbial taxa and to explore whether bacterial and fungal community shifts coincided with interannual variation in temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation. The dataset provides raw amplicon sequencing reads associated with annual composite leaf samples of S. aggregata and supports exploratory analyses of temporal variation in plant-associated endophytic microbial communities.
