| description | Leaf microorganism communities play significant roles in the process of plant growth, but the microbiome profiling of crop leaves is still a relatively new research area. Here, we used 16S rDNA sequencing to profile the microbiomes of 78 primary dried tobacco leaf samples from 26 locations in eight Chinese provinces. Our analyses revealed that the national leaf microbial communities contain 4473 operational taxonomic units (OTU) representing 1234 species, but there is a small, national core microbiome with only 14 OTU representing nine species. The function of this core microbiome is related to processes including nitrogen fixation, detoxification of diverse pollutants, and heavy-metal reduction. The leaf microorganism communities are obviously affected by local environments but did not exhibit obvious relationships to single ecological factors (e.g., temperature, precipitation). Our findings enhance the understanding of microbial diversity of tobacco leaves, which could be utilized for a variety of bioprocess, agricultural, and environmental detoxification applications. |
