However, those studies only analyzed the culturable communities, while in the present study, based on deep sequencing of the 16S rRNA region, we found that bacterial communities are independent of plant developmental stages, and the weighted Uni-Frac beta significance test only showed a few pairs with marginally significant differences ( Table S4 in File S1 ).
