Article Title: A footprint of plant eco-geographic adaptation on the composition of the barley rhizosphere bacterial microbiota
doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-69672-x
Figure Lengend Snippet: Actinobacteria are preferentially enriched in and discriminate between elite genotypes and wild barley genotypes adapted to desert environments. Individual external nodes of the tree represent one of the OTUs enriched in the rhizosphere of elite genotypes compared to either (or both) rhizosphere samples desert areas (Wald test, P value < 0.05, FDR corrected). The colours reflect OTUs’ taxonomic affiliation at Phylum level. A black bar in the outer rings depicts whether that given OTU was identified in the comparisons between ‘Elite’ and either ‘Desert 1′ or ‘Desert 2′ genotypes, respectively. Phylogenetic tree constructed using OTUs 16S rRNA gene representative sequences.
Article Snippet: We used an Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene amplicon survey to characterise the microbiota inhabiting the rhizosphere and unplanted soil samples.
