Fig.5.
Functional changes in rhizosphere bacterial communities in response to Fpmd MR5 inoculation. a Gene abundances based on the eggNOG database: Relative abundance (%) of annotated genes; Fold changes (pathogen-inoculated vs. non-inoculated); Heatmap of pathway abundances across treatments. b Gene abundances derived from the KEGG database: relative abundance (%) of annotated genes; fold changes (pathogen-inoculated vs. non-inoculated); Heatmap of pathway abundances (Z-score scale − 1.0 [blue] to 1.0 [red]). HMO, OE microbiome (−MR5); HMR, RNAi microbiome (−MR5); FMO, OE microbiome (+MR5); FMR, RNAi microbiome (+MR5). ‘−MR5’: non-inoculated control; ‘+MR5’: Fpmd MR5-inoculated. Asterisks (*) indicate significant enrichment in FMR relative to FMO (two-sided Student’s t-test, *, P ≤ 0.05). The hash symbol indicates a significant change in the +MR5 rhizosphere compared to its corresponding −MR5 rhizosphere (two-sided Student’s t-test, #, P ≤ 0.05)
