FIGURE 6.
Hierarchical clustering of 80 alfalfa varieties based on variations in pathogen effect sizes of all plant traits single and co-inoculated with Fom and Rs. (A) Single inoculation with Fom (Fom), (B) single inoculation with Rs (Rs), and (C) co-inoculation with Fom and Rs (Fom:Rs). Labels on the dendrogram (I, II, III, and IV) represent the main groups. The heat map shows variations in pathogen effect sizes of different traits. The color gradient range (0–100%) is shown on the top right corner. Positive effects (effect size < 0) of pathogen treatment on some traits (Supplementary Figures 1–4) were defined as zero to maximize resolution. DIS and DIR, disease index of plant shoot and root, respectively; PH, plant height; RL, root length; DWS and DWR, dry weight of shoot and root, respectively; ST, shoot biomass ratio; RT, root biomass ratio.
