Fig. 1

Abundance and location of Sebacinales OTUs in nature suggest functional association of these fungi with Arabidopsis thaliana. Analysis of fungal (ITS1) OTUs belonging to the Sebacinales order from sequencing data obtained from samples of soil and root-associated microbial communities across 3 years and 17 European sites where naturally occurring A. thaliana populations were found [9]. A non-parametric Kruskal−Wallis test with a Dunn’s test for multiple comparisons on relative abundances of Sebacinales OTUs in different compartments, aggregated for all sites, shows that this fungal taxon is enriched in the rhizoplane compartment of A. thaliana roots compared to the other compartments. Y-axes have different scales for all sites (right scale) and single sites (left scale).
