High-throughput sequencing-based profiling of endophytic bacterial community composition and diversity in seeds of Yunnan cytoplasmic male-sterile rice

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple crop of pivotal strategic importance in Chinese agro-ecosystems. In this study, the endophytic bacterial diversity and community structure of seeds from 14 Yunnan cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) rice lines (42 samples in total) were systematically pro...
