Extended Data Fig. 10: Calculation of relative microbiome maturity of drought-stressed samples.
From: Prolonged drought imparts lasting compositional changes to the rice root microbiome
a, After applying the sparse random forest models to the validating set of well-watered plants, a loess curve (dashed green line) was fit between host chronological age (x axis) and microbiome predicted age (y axis). b, Using the fitted loess curve as a baseline of microbiome development, relative microbiome maturity was estimated by calculating the difference between the predicted microbiome age of an individual sample and the corresponding baseline microbiome age of well-watered plants. c, Using the approach described in B, relative microbiome maturity was calculated for all drought-stressed samples.
