Uncovering microbiomes of the rice phyllosphere using long-read metagenomic sequencing

Abstract The plant microbiome is crucial for plant growth, yet many important questions remain, such as the identification of specific bacterial species in plants, their genetic content, and location of these genes on chromosomes or plasmids. To gain insights into the genetic makeup of the rice-phyl...
