Plant genotype influences both common (> 500 reads) and rare (< 500 reads) rhizosphere taxa. (a) Principal coordinate analysis of Jaccard dissimilarities of common taxa, where rhizosphere communities of Ws are represented by orange circles, toc1-21: blue circles and ztl-30: gray circles (n=23). Rhizosphere community composition differs significantly between all clock genotypes (P=0.001). (b) Principal coordinate analysis of Bray–Curtis dissimilarities of common taxa (n=23). OTU abundances differ significantly between toc1-21 and both the Ws and ztl-30 genotypes (P=0.001). (c) Principal coordinate analysis of Jaccard dissimilarities of rare taxa (n=23). Rhizosphere community composition differs significantly between all clock genotypes (P=0.001). (d) Principal coordinate analysis of Bray–Curtis dissimilarities of rare taxa (n=23). OTU abundances differ significantly between Ws and both toc1-21 and ztl-30 genotypes (P=0.001).
