Patterns in the Microbial Community of Salt-Tolerant Plants and the Functional Genes Associated with Salt Stress Alleviation
ABSTRACT Salinity is an important abiotic stress affecting plant growth.We have known that plants can recruit beneficial microbes from the surrounding soil.However, the ecological functions of the core microbiome in salt-tolerant plants, together with their driving factors, remain largely unexplored.Here, we employed both amplicon and shotgun metag
