Fig. 3From: Succession of endophytic fungi and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with the growth of plant and their correlation with secondary metabolites in the roots of plantsBeta diversity analysis of endophytic fungal community based on weighted UniFrac distance. Description: (a) Non-Metric Multi-Dimensional Scaling (NMDS) analysis, which each point in the diagram represents a sample, and samples from the same group are represented in the same color. The lower Stress (< 0.2) indicates that NMDS can accurately reflect the degree of difference between samples. (b) The significance test of the differences of Beta diversity, which the * represented a significant difference (p < 0.05) assessed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test for analysis. Ordinate is the Beta diversity; abscissa is the group name that has identical meanings as described in Fig. 2Back to article page
