Temporal dynamics of microbial taxa during the shoot development of tea plants. The bacterial (A) and fungal (B) community was captured at four typical growth stages of tea plant shoots, including single bud (SB), one bud and one leaf (1B1L), one bud and two leaves (1B2L), and one bud and three leaves (1B3L) stages. Temporal dynamics of microbial community composition and structure were assessed at different taxonomic levels. The community compositions are summarized at the phylum, class, and order levels.
