Figure 4

Box plot showing the differences in alpha diversity indices (Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson) and beta diversity indices (weighed and un-weighed UniFrac as well as Bray-Curtis) of bacterial community associated with plant chickpea tissues. Beta distance was calculated for the data set (a) all within sample sources, (b) all between sources, (c) nodule vs nodule (d) root vs root, (e) nodule vs root.
