Comparison of alpha diversity in endophytic microbiomes of 14 sampled Musa cultivars and tissues grouped according to tissue location (leaves or roots) (A, B) or genotype (M. acuminata Dwarf Cavendish and Williams Hybrid = AAA, M. acuminata FHIA-25 = AAB, M. balbisiana and M. balbisiana ‘Thai Black’ = BB, M. sikkimensis and M. textilis = Others) (C, D). Diversity was calculated by either the Shannon-index or Simpson-index based on reads mapped to taxonomically classified scaffolds, statistically significant differences shown with asterisks for *Welch’s two sample t-test or (A: p = 0.01 B: p = 0.02) and ***ANOVA (C: A: p = 0.06 D: p = 0.05)
