    Pairwise comparisons of leaf microbiota from Valencia trees sampled in Immokalee, Vero Beach, Ft. Pierce, and Gainesville in Fall 2015 (Table S2); locations where the citrus trees were sampled (Fig. S1); photographs of each set of replicate trees, categorized based on HLB symptom severity (Fig. S2); frequency of orders, families, and genera assigned to 16S sequences detected in the leaf and root samples (Fig. S3); photographs demonstrating progression of HLB symptoms over time (Fig. S4); correlation between the relative abundance of Liberibacter spp. among all genera in leaf-associated microbial communities (Fig. S5); relative abundances of the 20 most abundant families assigned to 16S sequences detected in the root-associated microbial communities of Valencia trees sampled in Gainesville, FL (Fig. S6).
