This dataset comprises 16S amplicon sequences from the rhizosphere of sorghum, sampled in 2022 from fields in Davis, California. The sorghum genotype used was the commercial grain variety 'Wheatland'. Plants under well-watered conditions received 100% irrigation, while drought-stressed plants received only 25% of this rate. Microbiome sampling was conducted at two growth stages: boot stage (August) and soft dough stage (October). 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on the V4 region using the NovaSeq.
