Core prokaryotes and the relative contribution of the different predictors used to model core and non-core prokaryotic community compositions in rhizosphere soil and root endophyte in M. sinensis and M. floridulus. Venn diagram showed that there are 6 and 13 core prokaryotic taxa shared between root and rhizosphere soil in M. sinensis (A) and M. floridulus (B), respectively; C Relative abundance of the 6 rhizosphere-root shared core taxa is represented as boxplots (left panel), grouped by order and dataset (rhizosphere soil /root) in M. sinensis; D Relative abundance of the 13 rhizosphere-root shared core taxa is represented as boxplots (left panel), grouped by order and dataset (rhizosphere soil /root) in M. floridulus; E Panels represent results from PERMANOVA aiming to identify the percentage of variance of rhizosphere soil and root endophyte core prokaryotic and non-core prokaryotic community compositions of explained by host genetic variation, soil variables, and site in M. sinensis and M. floridulus. An alternative version of this figure showing each group of predictors can be found in Table S6
