Fig. 1: Experimental design on analysis of changes in the plant rhizosphere microbiome by microbe-induced plant.
From: Achieving similar root microbiota composition in neighbouring plants through airborne signalling
a Plot design. To confirm the interaction between emitter and receiver sectors through volatile organic compounds (VOCs), experiments were performed using plastic boxes in which below the soil signal transmission was blocked. Four plants were used per treatment. b Experimental steps for microbiome analysis. Plants were treated with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain GB03. Rhizosphere was sampled after 14 days and analysed using the MiSeq pipeline.
