Rice assembles a compositionally distinct root microbiota from native plant species grown in flooded paddy fields. a Principal coordinate analysis of soil, rhizosphere, and endosphere communities across rice (O. sativa) and three different native plant species: redstem (A. coccinea), mudplantain (H. limosa), and sedge (C. iria). Beta-diversity patterns are based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities. b Bray-Curtis dissimilarity values comparing bulk soil prokaryotic communities to those acquired in the rhizosphere of rice and native plants
