Figure 4

Network figures comparing fungal populations of conventional (Conv.) and organic (Org.) apples in the calyx end (a), stem end (b), wounded flesh (c), and peel (d). Networks were constructed regardless of time (using data from both T1 and T5 assessment times) and considering only significantly different taxa (P<0.01) with a cumulative RA in organic and conventional apples ⩾0.1%. Investigated samples were represented by large yellow nodes. Detected taxa were represented by green (Ascomycota), red (Basidiomycota), and blue (Unidentified fungi) nodes. The size of nodes is proportional to the cumulative RA of each taxon in all investigated samples. Similarly, the percentage values reported along taxa represent the cumulative RA of each taxon in all investigated samples. On the contrary, the width of line connecting samples and fungal taxa is proportional to the amount of each specific taxon in each specific sample.
