The root-endophytic microbiome shifts under drought in high-performing sorghum

Plant-associated microbes contribute to crop health and resilience, potentially extending or complementing plant traits under abiotic stress. Here, we tested a series of hypotheses centered on the fungal mycobiome and bacterial microbiome of field-grown sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), an emerging model crop for drought resilience, which we cultivated under arid conditions.
