Root microbiota response to chemically-induced removal of Liberibacter in root-associated communities. Regression of log2 fold changes in relative abundance of Liberibacter compared to those of each bacterial family, after 18 months of treatment. (a) Bacterial families that experienced significant increases (p < 0.05) in relative abundance in response to the reduction of Liberibacter: (b) Response of the three bacterial families that were previously found to be negatively associated with Liberibacter in leaf microbiota.
