Extended Data Fig. 5: Shannon diversity of the root-associated microbiome.
From: Root-secreted bitter triterpene modulates the rhizosphere microbiota to improve plant fitness
a and b, The bacterial (a) and fungal (b) diversity index of the soil, rhizosphere and endosphere communities of healthy and diseased seedlings (means ± SD, n = 3). The bacterial Shannon diversity was significantly lower in the healthy lines than the diseased lines, in the rhizosphere, but not in the endosphere communities, whereas the fungal Shannon diversity showed no significant changes between the two groups, regardless of rhizosphere or endosphere. Statistical differences were analysed using two-sided Student’s t-test. ***, significant difference (P < 0.001). n.s., Not significant.
