Unraveling the spatio-temporal dynamics of soil and root-associated microbiomes in Texas olive orchards.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the structure and diversity of microbiomes is critical to establishing olives in non-traditional production areas. Limited studies have investigated soil and root-associated microbiota dynamics in olives across seasons or locations in the United States. We explored the composition and spatiotemporal patterns of the olive-associated microbial communities and specificity in two niches (rhizosphere and root endosphere), seasons (spring, summer, and fall), and domains (bacteria and fungi) in the microbiome of the olive cultivar Arbequina across three olive orchards in Texas. Phylum Proteobacteria, followed by Actinobacteriota, dominated the bacterial populations in the rhizosphere and endosphere. Rubrobacter and Actinophytocola were dominant taxa in the rhizosphere and root endos
