Sequences were grouped using the RDP Classifier of the Ribosomal Database Project-II release 11 with a confidence threshold of 80%.

b

R, M, and S indicate the phenotypes of the 8 potato genotypes; resistant, medium resistant, and susceptible to potato scab diseases, respectively. R1, R2, R3, M1, M2, S1, S2, and S3 are designated for clone libraries of the 8 potato genotypes (Yukirasha, 02005-10, Snow March, Star Ruby, Snowden, Irish Cobbler, Toyoshiro, and Piruka, respectively). CD stands for the isolate collections derived from roots or tubers of cultivar “Yukirasha”.

* and **

indicate significance at the 5% and 1% levels (P<0.05 and P<0.01), respectively, calculated with the Library Compare of RDP II, between R1 and other libraries.
