Whole metagenome sequencing of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) rhizosphere microbiome from Jammu and Kashmir, India.
The rhizosphere microbiome of saffron across regions like Kashmir (Wuyan, Patalbagh upper and lower range) and Jammu (Kishtwar) was studied using whole metagenome sequence approach. Taxonomical and functional analysis was performed to explore the metabolic potential and spatial variations of microbial communities across saffron-growing locations.
