  abstract = {{P}lants harbor diverse and taxonomically structured communities of protective microorganisms that confer beneficial characteristics in plant growth and protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. {T}he aim of this study is to characterize the composition of endophytic bacterial communities in leaves and rhizobacterial communities of the flood affected and unaffected apricot trees by 16{S} r{RNA} genes metabarcoding. {R}esults showed a slight bacterial diversity reduction in flood affected condition compared to the unaffected one. {T}he relative bacterial abundance analysis showed that the bacterial taxa were almost uniformly distributed between the leaves. {H}owever, a clear differential taxa abundance was observed in rhizosphere soil which may be associated with apricot tree environmental status. {I}n fact, the flood affected rhizosphere soil showed a significant increase in several bacterial taxa including particularly {B}acillusfrigoritolerans and {P}seudoarthrobacterphenanthrenivorans which are known to be beneficial to soil. {H}owever, some {A}ctinobacteria genera that promote growth of plants, including {N}ocardioides sp.,{S}treptomyces sp.,{B}lastococcus and {G}eodermatophilus were decreased in abundance. {T}his distribution of abundance and diversity of the bacterial community in the flood affected tree can be correlated to abiotic stress. {T}hese results provide new insights into rhizosphere-associated microbes that are likely playing a crucial role in plant growth and survival.},
