Table 3 Permanova analyses for the effect of genotype for each year/compartment/growth stage combinations for 16 S rRNA gene, ITS region and cpn60 gene amplicon datasets generated from bulk soil, wheat rhizosphere soil and wheat roots collected from 2013 to 2016 at the stem elongation and dough development stages.

From: The effect of wheat genotype on the microbiome is more evident in roots and varies through time
