Pecan Rootstock Rhizosphere Microbiome Composition Across Genotypes and Environments

Table 2_Host genotype and environment shape rhizosphere and root microbiome composition of pecan rootstocks.xlsx contains data on bacterial and fungal community compositions from pecan rootstocks. The dataset, authored by Paul Oladimeji Gabriel and shared on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, compares four clonal rootstocks (NMU03, NMU04, NMU05, NMU155) cultivated in greenhouse and field environments. It was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Compare microbial diversity and taxonomic composition across environments (greenhouse vs. field) based on the described community shifts.
• Analyze genotype-specific microbiome structuring for pecan rootstocks based on the four clonal genotypes mentioned.
• Investigate successional shifts in core microbiome members following environmental transition based on the described abundance changes.
• Identify dominant bacterial (e.g., Burkholderiaceae, Xanthobacteraceae) and fungal (e.g., Aspergillaceae, Elaphomycetaceae) families in plant-associated microbiomes.

Strengths

• Dataset is focused on a specific, understudied crop (pecan) and its microbiome.
• Compares microbial communities across two distinct environments (greenhouse and field) and four genotypes.
• Includes data on both bacterial (16S rRNA) and fungal (ITS) amplicon sequencing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (9.0 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data.
