FIGURE 3.
Analysis of some of the key copiotrophic characteristics in metagenome datasets. (A) rrn copy number of taxa that are significantly more or less abundant in seedling samples in comparison to seeds (DeSeq2; log2 FC > 3, P < 0.01). (B) Average genome size and (C) Proportion of classified reads among the samples investigated. Letters indicate differences between individual means assessed with one factor ANOVA with post hoc Tukey HSD (P < 0.05). The left part of the panel shows bean samples and the right part radish samples. S, seeds; G, germinating seeds, and P, Seedlings.
