The A. alpina root microbiota is independent of flowering time. (a–c) Growth morphology of A. alpina wild-type (Paj) and pep1 mutant plants across the ‘time course’ experiment. (d–f) Ternary plots of OTUs enriched in the ‘time course’ experiment across the soil and root compartments of the A. alpina wild-type (Paj) and pep1 mutant plants after 6 weeks (a, d), 12 weeks (b, e) and 28 weeks (c, f). Each circle depicts one individual OTU. The size of the circle reflects the relative abundance (RA). The position of each circle is determined by the contribution of the indicated compartments to the RA. Number in brackets: total number of OTUs enriched in the respective plant line. OTUs enriched in the two plant lines are based on a Bayes moderated t-test; P<0.05 (FDR-corrected).
