From: Rain induces temporary shifts in epiphytic bacterial communities of cucumber and tomato fruit
Sample type collection scheme and bacterial community profiles. A: Cucumber fruit (squares), tomato fruit (circles) and tomato leaf (triangles) samples were collected on the marked dates in September 2015 (n = 8 cucumber fruit, n = 7 tomato fruit, n = 7 tomato leaf per date), surrounding 2 rain events marked with blue lollipops. B. Boxplots representing Observed OTUs classified at 97% identity counted from rarefied dataset (8,200 seqs/sample) between sample types and across sampling dates. Lower and upper hinges show the 25th and 75th percentiles of the range, and whiskers extend to values furthest from the median that fall within 1.5× the interquartile range. Outlying points as well as inlying points for each sample are shown as dots, and the median is marked with a horizontal line in each box. Within each sample type, differential letter assignment indicates significant difference by date of collection. C. Principal Coordinates Analysis plot showing the clustering of samples as measured by Unweighted UniFrac distance, with 95% confidence ellipses surrounding each of the 3 sample types.
