IR24 rice plants were grown under the inorganic nitrogen condition with and without SynComs, including indica-enriched SynCom, japonica-enriched SynCom, and corresponding heat-killed bacteria as controls, respectively (Supplementary Table 13). After 2-week bacterial inoculation, rice plants were measured by root length (a), plant height (b), and shoot fresh weight (c). Different letters indicate significantly different groups (P < 0.05, ANOVA, Tukey-HSD). Boxplots show combined data from two independent inoculation experiments with 4–5 technical replicates each. 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.
