Diversity and abundance of the S. alterniflora microbiome. Boxplots of the Shannon diversity index (a) and prokaryotic abundance determined by qPCR of SSU rRNA genes (b) per microbiome compartment and S. alterniflora phenotype. Evenness across plant compartments assessed by a cumulative rank-abundance plot (c). Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) ordination of the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix across all collected samples with colors representing microbiome compartment (d) and S. alterniflora phenotype (e). nMDS stress 0.10
