From: From microbiome to biostimulants: unlocking the potential of tomato root endophytes
Influence of the experimental variables on endophytic microbiota diversity. (A), Beta diversity (multidimensional scaling MDS using Bray‒Curtis distance) for the n = 192 samples highlights variations with respect to tomato plant growth stage (post-transplant, flowering, and harvesting) and sampling region (Campania and Sicily). (B), Percentage of the total microbiota variation influenced by the experimental variables: sampling time, sampling region, tomato cultivar, sampling area, and treatment
