Analysis of bacterial hubs in the endosphere of zaxinone and MiZax-treated rice roots. (A-C) Identification of microbial hubs within Oryza sativa root endosphere microbiota. Co-abundance networks inferred with SPIEC-EASI were used to identify microbial hubs defined as the nodes with betweenness centrality (i.e. the fraction of shortest paths passing through the given node) and closeness-centrality (i.e. the average shortest distance from the given node to other nodes) metrics above the top 5% values in the distribution (dotted lines in B and C). Hubs are coloured according to Phylum and dot size is proportional to node’s degree (exponential scale). Density plots (A) display the distribution of the closeness-centrality values of ASVs (network nodes) across treatments (panels) and timepoints (color). (D-E) Frequency of phyla by treatments and time-points in the microbial hubs identified in the network analysis.
