Fig. 1From: Bacterial wilt affects the structure and assembly of microbial communities along the soil-root continuumBacterial and fungal abundance derived from qPCR based on the 16S rRNA (A), ITS (B), flic (C), and EF1α gene (D). The asterisks (*) indicate significant differences between diseased and healthy tobacco within the same niche. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01, or ***, P < 0.001. Lowercase letters over the boxplot indicate statistically significant differences (t-test, P < 0.05) across niches in healthy or diseased plants.
