FIGURES AND TABLE LIST
FIGURE 1. Tricoplusia ni plant consumption for five
crops. Graph show differences between the control (CTRL) and insect
(INSECT) groups for fresh biomass in the first sowing. The numbers in
percent, above the bars correspond to the difference in percentage in
plant consumption for the control group and the treatment for each
cultivated plant. The numbers with two decimal places on each of the
bars, corresponds to the average of six repetitions evaluated for the
variable fresh biomass. The numerical averages are represented in grams.
(*) Statistical significance was tested using ANOVA one-way test
(p<0.05) followed by the test T-Student (Bonferroni) for each
one of the crop plants separately.
FIGURE 2. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) ofpairwise dissimilarities (Bray–Curtis index) for bacterial
communities in Arabidopsis , tomato, red beet, sweet corn, and
bean rhizospheres of (A) Insect attack group and (B) Control group.
FIGURE 3. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of pairwise
dissimilarities (Bray–Curtis index) for bacterial rhizosphere
communities in taxonomic composition present in (A) sweet corn,(B) beans, (C) A. thaliana , (D)tomato, and (E) red beet. The PCoA compares rhizosphere in
control groups and rhizosphere after the insect attack.
*PERMANOVA (p<0.05) and ns PERMANOVA(p<0.05). (E, F, G, H, I). Taxonomical composition of
bacteria by phylum level in (F) sweet corn, (G) beans,(H) A. thaliana , (I) tomato, and (J)red beet. The relative abundance of each phylum is shown in a scale from
0 to 100%. *ANOVA & Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test
(p< 0.05) and ns ANOVA & Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test( p<0.05).
FIGURE 4. Venn diagram showing the distribution of common ASVs
assigned to the indicated genus among different plant species between
the (A) insect attack group and (B) control group. The
names from the genera in the Venn diagrams that are specific for each
experimental group (eleven to insect group and nine to control group)
and shared between the groups (forty-nine) are shown in supplementary
table 6.
FIGURE 5. Difference in plant biomass between the control group
(CTRL) and insect group (INSECT) in the second sowing. The numbers above
the bars correspond to the difference in percentage between the two
groups for each cultivated plant. The numbers with two decimal places on
each of the bars, corresponding to the average of six repetitions
evaluated for the variable fresh biomass. The numerical averages are
represented in grams. (*) ANOVA one-way significant forp< 0.05 followed by the T- Student test (Bonferroni).
TABLE 1. Eleven bacterial genera and their respective relative
abundance across crop rhizosphere samples under insect attack.(A) Corn, (B) Beans, (C) A. thaliana ,(D) Tomato, and (E) Red Beet. Eleven taxa were
analyzed based on their relative abundance values using analysis of
variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test. Significant difference
(p< 0.05) are highlighted and labeled (*).
