The colors represent the OTUs at the phylum level. Fig. S4. Differential abundance of bacteria and random forest classification revealing differences in rhizosphere microbial structure. (a) and (b) Volcano plots visualizing the enrichment and depletion patterns of bacteria in YH in comparison with CS at SQ (a) and YL (b). Black dots represent no significant differences in OTUs. Red and blue dots indicate an individual OTU significantly enriched in YH and CS, respectively. (c) and (d) The influence of YH and CS at SQ (c) and YL (d) on the 11 most important bacterial taxa in rhizosphere soil was determined by random forest classification. The relative abundance of rhizobacteria differed in accordance with the drought tolerance of the sample. OTUs are arranged along the y-axis in descending order of importance by calculating the Gini coefficient to validate the accuracy of the model. For the abbreviations see Fig. S1. Fig. S5.

Model of M. alpina-induced stress response signaling in wheat. M. alpina strongly induces expression of genes in the CIPK and PP2C families, CIPK-PP2C complexes activate MAPKKK17, and the activated MAPK cascade induces the expression of the transcription factors MYB36, MYB62, and NAC71 to regulate the expression of drought-responsive genes. However, suppression by E. nigrum of expression of the MAPK6 and NAC71 genes leads to repression of drought-responsive genes.
