Fig. 2: Alpha and Beta diversity results for the cotton microbiome under CLCuD attack.

From: Cotton microbiome profiling and Cotton Leaf Curl Disease (CLCuD) suppression through microbial consortia associated with Gossypium arboreum

Fig. 2

Alpha diversity indices for (a) Microbial composition; and (b) MetaCyc pathways returned from PICRUSt2 procedure. Lines for panels connect two sample groups at statistically significant levels (ANOVA) indicated by asterisks as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, or ***p < 0.001. Beta diversity represented through principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots calculated using (c) Bray–Curtis, (d) unweighted UniFrac, and (e) hierarchical meta-storms distances. The ellipses represent the 95% confidence interval of the standard error of the ordination points of a given grouping. Beneath the figures, PERMANOVA R2 explains significant variability in microbial community structure based on Cotton species, varieties, and compartments.
