2. Bacterial community structure across plant species in response to
insect attack
Microbial communities’ dissimilarities were evaluated by Principal
Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) across plant rhizospheres after T. niattack (Figure 2A) and their controls (Figure 2B).
Bacterial community structure presented significant differences when
comparing the rhizosphere microbiome samples after insect attack (Figure
2A) and control samples (Figure 2B). The rhizosphere microbiome
corresponding to insect-attacked plants showed a clustering effect
(Figure 2A). However, the control samples showed a separation of the
rhizosphere bacterial communities influenced by plant genotype (Figure
2B).
