Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) combined with Effect Size (LEfSe) plot of (A) bacterial and (B) fungal genera identified as potential responders of continuous watering (CW, blue) and reduced watering (RW, red) in the rhizosphere of two potato cultivars MONI and HERBST grown in either native soil with natural microbiome (NSM) and autoclaved soil with disturbed microbiome (DSM). Only features meeting an LDA significant threshold ≥ 2.5 and p-values < 0.05 for factorial Kruskal–Wallis and pairwise Wilcoxon tests are displayed
