Bacterial community composition of wheat aboveground compartments correlates with yield during the reproductive phase.

ABSTRACT: Plant-associated microbial communities play important roles in agricultural productivity, and their composition has been shown to vary across plant compartments and developmental stages. However, the response of microbial communities within different plant compartments and at different developmental stages to diverse long-term fertilization treatments, as well as their linkages with crop yields, remains underexplored. This study analyzed wheat-associated bacterial communities within various soil and plant compartments under three fertilization treatments throughout the vegetative and reproductive phases. The variance in bacterial community was primarily attributed to compartments, followed by fertilization treatments and developmental stages. The composition of belowground bacterial commun
