Dynamics of endophytic microbiota in rice plant niches during Magnaporthe oryzae infection

In this study, we aimed to provide an overview of the diversity and distribution of bacterial and fungal endophytes from different plant niches (root, stem and leaf) of rice plants and the influence of blast disease infection caused by M. oryzae on the structural composition of bacterial and fungal communities within the root, stem and leaf compartments of rice plants.
