The Impact of Gray Mold Resistant Susceptible Rootstock Grafting on the Endophytic Bacterial Community Structure in Tomato Leaves

This study aims to investigate the structural and compositional differences of the endophytic bacterial community in tomato leaves after grafting with resistant and susceptible rootstocks under Botrytis cinerea stress and to further analyze the potential relationship between these differences and disease occurrence Tomato grafting was conducted using rootstocks with different levels of resistance and the endophytic bacteria in the leaves after inoculation with gray mold fungus were analyzed using high throughput sequencing
