LEfSe Analysis of Phyllosphere Fungal Taxa in Leaf Samples from
Different Regions
A KW sum-rank test was applied using the LEfSe algorithm to compare the
distribution of OTUs between the leaves of rubber trees in different
regions. These results revealed 11 OTUs that were exclusively
distributed in BS, three OTUs that were exclusively distributed in DZ,
22 OTUs that were exclusively distributed in WN, and three OTUs that
were exclusively distributed in WZS. Trichosphaeriales was the
most abundant taxon in BS, Sporidiobolaceae was the most abundant
taxon in DZ, both Dothideales and Dothioraceae were the
most abundant taxa in WN, and Chaetomiaceae was the most abundant
taxon in WZS (Figure 4). The plot cladogram results also revealed the
community members that significantly influenced the delimitation of
samples in different regions (Figure 5).
