(a–c) IR24 (indica) rice plants were grown under different ratios of ammonium and nitrate (0:2, 2:0, and 1:1) with or without indica-enriched SynCom. After 2-week bacterial inoculation, rice plants were measured by root length (a), plant height (b), and shoot fresh weight (c). (d–f) Nipponbare (japonica) rice plants were grown under different ratios of ammonium and nitrate (0:2, 2:0, and 1:1) with or without indica-enriched SynCom. After 2-week bacterial inoculation, rice plants were measured by root length (d), plant height (e), and shoot fresh weight (f). Different letters indicate significantly different groups (P < 0.05, ANOVA, Tukey-HSD). Boxplots show combined data from three independent inoculation experiments with 4–5 technical replicates each (Supplementary Table 13). The horizontal bars within boxes represent medians. The tops and bottoms of boxes represent 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. The upper and lower whiskers extend to data no more than 1.5 × the interquartile range from the upper edge and lower edge of the box, respectively.
