Extended Data Fig. 3: Functional relationship of rhizosphere bacterial strains.

a. OsLHT1 expression. b. Amino acid in rhizosphere soil(mg·kg⁻¹). c. Amino acid in shoot(mg·kg⁻¹). d. Amino acid in root(mg·kg⁻¹). Different letters above bars indicate significant differences between groups (p < 0.05) based on one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test. The F-values indicate the ratio of between-group variance to within-group variance, p-values represent the statistical significance of the differences, and partial R² indicates the effect size, representing the proportion of total variance explained by the treatment factor. Values represent means ± s.d. For a, n = 72 biologically independent samples, representing 10 varieties, with 4 OsLHT1a haplotypes and 4 OsLHT1b haplotypes. Each haplotype had 6 biologically independent samples, with 12 biologically independent samples for the LHT1/LHT1 and LHT1/lht1 genotypes. For b,c and d, n = 30 biologically independent samples, representing 10 cultivars, with 3 biologically independent samples per cultivar.
