Fig. 1From: Circadian rhythms in the plant host influence rhythmicity of rhizosphere microbiotaImpact of the lhy-ox and lhy-11 mutations on the rhizosphere microbiome. Taxonomic analyses of ITS and 16S rRNA sequences were carried out from DNA and RNA samples, in order to determine the composition of total and metabolically active bacterial and fungal communities. A–D show NMDS plots with stress values indicated. Each data point represents an individual sample. Lines connect data points to the centroid for each group of samples. Stress values are indicated in the top-right corner. E–H show analyses of similarity (ANOSIM) plots. Darker colours indicate increasing dissimilarity. Numbers are dissimilarity scores (R) and * indicates p < 0.05. I–L show analyses of alpha diversity, quantified using Shannon’s index. Different letters indicate significantly different diversity scores, as determined by Kruskal–Wallis followed by pairwise Wilcoxon rank sum tests. Grey points indicate morning samples; black evening samplesBack to article page
