4. Unique bacterial taxa (at genus level) by plant species after insect
attack
After insect attack, seven unique genera were found inArabidopsis (Prauseria, Actinotalea, Pilimelia,
Sporichthya, Nostoc, Truepera, Candidatus Amoebophilus ), five in maize
(Sedimentibacter, Caulobacter, Marinibacillus, DA101,
Telmatospirillum ), four in tomato (Denitrobacter, Chitinophaga,
Roseococcus, Candidatus Koribacter ), three in red beet
(Klebsiella, Patulibacter, Methylocaldum ), and two in beans
(Methylotenera, Pelomonas ).
Those bacterial genera presented a low relative abundance in each of the
plant rhizospheres studied after T. ni attack (Supplementary
Table 7). However, in tomato, the genus Denitrobacter, and in red
beet the genus Klebsiella, presented a high relative abundance
among each of the plant rhizospheres studied (Supplementary Table 7).
5. Shared bacterial taxa (at the genus level) by plant species after
insect attack
To determine the shared bacterial communities among plant species after
insect attack, we assessed the taxonomic units at the genus level from
all crop plants using a Venn diagram. We found forty-nine overlapping
bacterial genera between the control and the insect-attacked groups for
all crops (Figure 4). Supplementary table 8 shows the relative abundance
of the genera that were overlapping between insect attack and control
for sweet corn, beans, Arabidopsis , tomato, and red beet
rhizospheres.
