Microbiome of bulk soil, rhizosphere soil, and bermudagrass root endophytes with different irrigation rates

This work examined and compared the composition and structure of the microbial community in the bulk soils, rhizosphere soils, and root endophytes under different irrigation rate: 0%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, and 120% replacement of evapotranspiration. The goal is to investigate and discuss the potential role of microbes as a biological tool for maintaining turfgrass growth under drought stress conditions.
