Potential Plant-to-Plant Transmission: Shared Endophytic Bacterial Community be-tween Ziziphus lotus and its Parasite Cuscuta epithymum

This study delves into the microbial dynamics within the host-parasite relationship, unraveling complexities in arid environments. Through comprehensive analysis, prevalent bacterial phyla and dominant genera are identified, offering insights into shared endophytic bacteriomes. These findings advance our understanding of microbial communities in arid African ecosystems.
