Fig. 5: Effects of plant‒root permeability on the ecological processes structuring the assembly of R. solanacearum populations.
From: Effects of plant tissue permeability on invasion and population bottlenecks of a phytopathogen
a The value of the beta artificial taxon index (βATI) of resistant and susceptible cultivars in treatments IR (intact roots), WR (wounded roots), and DXI (direct xylem inoculation) representing distinct levels of permeability to pathogen invasion; b relative contribution of assembly processes structuring the phytopathogen populations in planta; Hos: homogenous selection; Hes: heterogeneous selection; Und: undominated processes; c relationships between βATI values and the population bottleneck (Nb) of the pathogen populations during invasion. ρ represents Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; Line and intersection represent the mean and 95% CI of the fitting curve of the asymptotic regression model.
