Figure 4. Alpha diversity of OTUs among leaves and roots of EV and irAOC genotypes is significantly different.

Based on the pyrosequencing results, alpha diversity indices such as Margalef's species richness (A), Pielou's evenness (B) and Shannon diversity (C) were significantly different among the ‘genotypes & tissues’ (EVL, irAOCL, EVR, irAOCR). Mean, ±SE, n = 5 subsampling (6374 sequences for each sample), different letters indicate significant differences, one-way ANOVA with Fisher's PLSD test; P<0.05.
