Microbial diversity in the strawberry flower is shifted by different amino acid treatments. Samples were collected from December 2017 to February 2018 and amino acids were sprayed from Jan, 2018 to Feb, 2018 (weeks 4, 6, and 8). Each treatment included five plots of 100 plants (n = 5, 12 independent experiments). A Strawberry gray mold disease and blossom blight disease severity % with Streptomyces globisporus SP6C4 relative abundance, which OTUs was similarity over than 98% (n = 100, each replication was independent between treatment). B Sequencing of the microbes associated with strawberry flowers with 2% l-glutamic acid treated (n = 5, 12 independent experiments). Taxonomic assignment was conducted at the family level in Silva database (http://www.arb-silva.de/) with a similarity cutoff of 97% confidence. C, D PCoA plots of beta diversity (Bray-Curtis distance); each sample was vectorized to spatial position and dark circles in e covered OTUs overlapping those of Streptomyces globisporus SP6C4 (identities > 98%)
