Table 3. Comparison between treated and untreated strawberry organs according to unweighted UniFrac metrics (β-diversity).
The significance was determined through 999 Monte Carlo permutations using the distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA). Sample groups were considered significantly different if the P value was ≤ 0.05.
