Figure 7

Network figure comparing fungal populations detected in the calyx end (CE), stem end (CE), wounded flesh (WF), and peel (PE) of apple fruit. Networks were constructed using significantly different taxa (P<0.01) with a cumulative RA⩾0.1% and sequences from both assessment times (T1 and T5), and from both conventional and organic apples. 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 location. Identified groups comprised taxa shared by all investigated locations (e), and taxa shared by CE and SE (a), WF and PE (b), CE, SE, and PE (c), and SE, PE, and WF (d), and unique to PE (f).
