Diversity of endophytic bacteria of mulberry (Morus L.) under cold conditions.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic bacteria are known to impact the growth and fitness of agriculturally relevant plants. However, there are limited reports describing endophytic bacteria related to mulberry (Morus L.). The present study used Illumina-based 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the endophytic bacterial communities of two mulberry cultivars with differing resistance to low temperature, under cold conditions. In most cases, the bacterial communities of endophytes in the root exhibited higher richness compared with those in the stem, and the communities in resistant cultivar X792 exhibited higher richness compared with those of the sensitive cultivar "Da Shi" (DS). The difference in the proportion of unique operational taxonomic units showed the same trend. The number of genera with signifi
