Illumina-based Analysis of Endophytic Bacterial Diversity of four Allium species

Abstract Allium species are popular vegetables in China and possess antifungal and antibacterial activities. This study aimed to compare the endophytic bacterial community in the four crucial Allium species in China, Chinese leek (CL), garlic (GA), onion (ON,) and Welsh onion (WO), using sequences o...
