4. Unique bacterial taxa (at genus level) by plant species after insect attack
After insect attack, seven unique genera were found inArabidopsis (Prauseria, Actinotalea, Pilimelia, Sporichthya, Nostoc, Truepera, Candidatus Amoebophilus ), five in maize (Sedimentibacter, Caulobacter, Marinibacillus, DA101, Telmatospirillum ), four in tomato (Denitrobacter, Chitinophaga, Roseococcus, Candidatus Koribacter ), three in red beet (Klebsiella, Patulibacter, Methylocaldum ), and two in beans (Methylotenera, Pelomonas ).
Those bacterial genera presented a low relative abundance in each of the plant rhizospheres studied after T. ni attack (Supplementary Table 7). However, in tomato, the genus Denitrobacter, and in red beet the genus Klebsiella, presented a high relative abundance among each of the plant rhizospheres studied (Supplementary Table 7).
5. Shared bacterial taxa (at the genus level) by plant species after insect attack
To determine the shared bacterial communities among plant species after insect attack, we assessed the taxonomic units at the genus level from all crop plants using a Venn diagram. We found forty-nine overlapping bacterial genera between the control and the insect-attacked groups for all crops (Figure 4). Supplementary table 8 shows the relative abundance of the genera that were overlapping between insect attack and control for sweet corn, beans, Arabidopsis , tomato, and red beet rhizospheres.
