Fig. 3: Determination of similarity in microbial communities between emitter and receiver sectors using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
From: Achieving similar root microbiota composition in neighbouring plants through airborne signalling
The bold box in the right top pannel indicates in the raw data of Pearson’s correlation coefficient numbers for similar microbiota enrichment between the root system of PGPR-treated tomato plants and that of neighbouring tomato plants. The values of 16 box in the left bottom pannel indicate average of Pearson’s correlation coefficient numbers in each treatment. eS, eSB, eSP and eSPB represent emitter treatments; rS, rSB, rSP and rSPB represent receiver treatments. S, soil; SB, soil + bacterium; SP, soil + plant; SPB, soil + plant + bacterium.
