Heat map, relative abundance and total abundance of ribotypes (T-RF’s) after HaeIII digestion present in the seeds of three rice cultivars based on their tolerance to salt: IR29 – salt sensitive, IC32 – moderately tolerant, IC37 – highly tolerant, grown under normal condition (0 dS m^− 1), moderate salinity stress (4 dS m^− 1) and high salinity stress (8 dS m^− 1). T-RFs are shown on the left side and the identities of the T-RFs were based on in-silico prediction of 16S rRNA sequences of isolates and clones from the study
