16S rRNA Gene-Based Metagenomic Profiling of Seed Endophytic Bacterial Communities of Citrullus colocynthis

This study provides insights into the composition of the seed microbiome of Citrullus colocynthis and its potential ecological and functional roles in plant growth, stress adaptation, and disease resistance. The dataset contributes to a better understanding of vertically transmitted microbial communities and supports the development of beneficial microbial applications for sustainable agriculture in arid environments.
