Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The rhizosphere bacterial community maintained higher diversity, broader taxonomic heterogeneity and persistently complex interaction networks.
- Observation The root endosphere bacterial community showed progressive diversity reduction and compositional convergence during plant development.
- Observation Endophytic communities converged toward a Proteobacteria-dominated core, particularly Pseudomonas, as development progressed.
- Observation Beta nearest taxon index analysis indicated mixed stochastic and dispersal-related processes in the rhizosphere.
- Observation Functional predictions showed enhanced nitrogen-related metabolic potential during flowering, coinciding with enrichment and network centrality of Pseudomonas.
