Table 1.

Percentage of the total variance in the first three principal components accounted by each term for bacterial and fungal rhizosphere communities of cotton plants.

Rhizosphere soils from paired of neighboring healthy and diseased plants of two cultivars were sampled and profiled with amplicon sequence for the 16S and ITS regions. Two cultivars were planted in two separate fields ~300 m apart.

*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 based on ANOVA.
