Beta diversity in Panax quinquefolius tissues (A) Principle coordinates analysis (PCoA) based on Bray–Curtis Index (B) Distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) based on Bray–Curtis Index and constrained by tissue type (C) Venn diagram demonstrating the proportions of unique and overlapping operational taxonomic units (OTUs) between the different tissues. Venn diagrams were created using BioVenn online tool (http://www.biovenn.nl). PQL, PQR, and PQS refer to Panax quinquefolius leaf, root and stem, respectively.
