The sprout microbiome is derived from diverse seed tuber tissues. a UpSet plot shows shared and unique ASVs of each compartment of Variety A. Each row represents a sample type, and each column represents a set of ASVs, where filled-in black dots with an edge between the dots indicates that these ASVs are present in multiple sample types. The sets are ordered by the number of ASVs as indicated by the bar plot above each category. The total ASVs in each sample type is indicated by the rotated bar plot on the left. The inlay shows the abundance of ASVs (46) that are unique to sprouts and of sprout ASVs (70) that are shared with all tuber compartments. b Venn diagrams of ASVs shared between each tuber compartment and the sprout of Variety A. Color represents different compartment. c The distribution of the top 18 most-abundant sprout ASVs in all compartments of Variety A. Color represents the genus of the ASVs. The percentage under each figure shows the relative abundance of these top sprout ASVs in each compartment. Capital letters indicate significant difference (P < 0.05) in agglomerated abundance of the top sprout ASVs as determined by ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test
