Taxonomic variation in the rhizosphere microbiome induced by roots. A, B The relative abundances of strains PGP41 (A) and PGP5 (B) in the rhizosphere microbiome-based OTUs that 100% matching to 16s rRNA gene sequences of the strains (GenBank accession number: MG839712 and MH087460 respectively). C–E Changes in α-diversity indices, including Chao1 (C), Shannon (D), and Simpson (E) indices. F Bray–Curtis distances between the microbiomes of the last samples collected (30 days) and samples from each time point (0–21 days) decreased with plant residence and development. Asterisks indicate significant differences (Duncan’s test, P < 0.05). G PCoA showing the microbiome shift with plant residence and development. H Pairwise correlations between samples showed similar trends of variation in inoculated and control microbiomes, and the rhizosphere microbiome became stable after 15 days of transplantation. Negative and positive correlations are displayed in green and red colors, respectively. The circle size and color intensity stand for correlation coefficients. I The bacterial biomarkers identified by random forests regression of their relative abundances in CK against plant residence time. J Heatmap based on relative abundances of biomarkers in CK and inoculated (PGP5 and PGP41) soils showing similar variation trends along with plant residence time in different soils
