Distinctive Structure and Assembly of Phyllosphere Microbial Communities between Wild and Cultivated Rice.

ABSTRACT: Wild rice has been demonstrated to possess enriched genetic diversity and multiple valuable traits involved in disease/pest resistance and abiotic stress tolerance, which provides a potential resource for sustainable agriculture. However, unlike the plant compartments such as rhizosphere, the structure and assembly of phyllosphere microbial communities of wild rice remain largely unexplored. Through amplicon sequencing, this study compared the phyllosphere bacterial and fungal communities of wild rice and its neighboring cultivated rice. The core phyllosphere microbial taxa of both wild and cultivated rice are dominated with Pantoea, Methylobacterium, Nigrospora, and Papiliotrema, which are potentially beneficial to rice growth and health. Compared to the cultiv
