The variation of phyllosphere bacterial and fungal communities along elevation gradients may provide a potential link with temperature, which corresponds to an over short geographic distances. At the same time, plant growth stage is also important factor affecting microorganisms. Understanding microbiological diversity changes in among stages for developing crop ecological theories. Thus, we investigated variations composition rice at five sites gradient from 580 980 m above sea level (asl) Ziquejie Mountain seedling, heading, mature stages, using high-throughput Illumina sequencing methods. results revealed that dominant phyla were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Ascomycota Basidiomycota, varied significantly different stages. Elevation had greater effect on α bacteria than fungi. Meanwhile, great both Our showed within terms relative abundance species, well correlated average elevation. A total 18 24 genera elevational gradient, displaying large differences various Soluble protein (SP) shared strong positive correlation (p < 0.05) significant negative Serratia, Passalora, unclassified_Trichosphaeriales, antioxidant enzymes (R > 0.5, p 0.05), Xylaria, Gibberella, Penicillium 0.05). Therefore, it suggests might alter populations.
