Table 2:

Community structure similarity of paired rhizoplane and rhizosphere microbiota for each cultivar was assessed by Sørensen–Dice index and Morisita-Horn's index

			Differences in variation of community structure tested using Wilcoxon signed rank test
Index	The mean value of paired samples in YL	The mean value of paired samples in ZJK	P value
Sørensen–Dice	0.537	0.552	0.0042
Morisita-Horn's	0.393	0.517	1.44e-11
