From: The seeds of Plantago lanceolata comprise a stable core microbiome along a plant richness gradient
The seed microbiome of P. lanceolata across the different plant diversity levels. (A) Frequency and phylogenetic assignment of ASVs belonging to the core microbiome (Core) or the unique taxa of 4-, 8- and 16-species plots. Monoculture plots did not harbor any unique ASV. (B) Relative abundance of ASVs being part of the core microbiome in seeds obtained from plants of plots from the different diversity levels (Sown_div). (C) Venn diagram displaying the number of shared ASVs among the diversity levels. Numbers outside brackets indicate the absolute number of ASVs shared on that given combination, while numbers inside brackets represent the percentage of reads assigned to those ASVs. Relative abundances below 0.1% are displayed as 0%. (D) Spearman correlation plot between the number of unique ASVs per diversity level and plant species diversity displayed as log2sown diversity. In monocultures, the number of unique ASVs is zero
