FIGURE 3.
Relative abundance (%) of rhizosphere bacteria. The composition of the bacterial community in the rhizospheres of three control treatments (CW: control) and two whitefly-infested treatments (WW: Whitefly treatments). Numbers indicate exposure time to whitefly (CW0: time zero; CW1 and WW1: 1 week; CW2 and WW2: 2 weeks). The distribution of the different bacterial phyla is based on data obtained by 454 sequencing. Distribution of classes with relative abundance (>0.3% dissimilarity; A) and orders (B) in control and whitefly infestation samples.
