Objectives:
Leek (Allium ampeloprasum) is a nutritious vegetable popularly cultivated in South Africa and most regions of the world. It is generally recognised as a source of vitamins and vegetables. Nevertheless, little is known about its rhizosphere microbiome and its microbial functional dataset under various fertilization systems. Therefore, this study intended to unveil the rhizosphere microbiome of Allium ampeloprasum and their functional datasets through shotgun metagenomics sequencing analysis.
