The process of nitrogen-adaptation root endophytic bacterial rather than phosphorus-adaptation fungal subcommunities construction unveiled the tomato yield improvement under long-term fertilization.

ABSTRACT: Interactions between endophytes (endophytic bacteria and fungi) and plants are crucial in maintaining crop fitness in agricultural systems, particularly in relation to abundant and rare subcommunities involved in community construction. However, the influence of long-term fertilization on heterogeneous rhizosphere nitrogen and phosphorus environments and how these conditions affect the key subcommunities of root endophytes and their community assembly mechanisms remain unclear. We studied the 26th year of a field experiment conducted in a greenhouse with varying levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (CKP0, CKP1, CNP0, CNP1, ONP0, and ONP1) to assess the composition of tomato root endophytes and their impact on yield. We employed 16S rRNA and fungal ITS region amplicon sequencing to investigate
