Diversity of tobacco-associated microbiomes. A Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordinations based on weighted UniFrac distance matrices depicting the distribution patterns of bacterial and fungal communities in each compartment niche (for each niche, n = 12). The relative contribution of different factors to community dissimilarity was tested with PERMANOVA. “T” represents the effect of the CNS treatment. B Alpha-diversity of bacterial and fungal communities in soils (rhizosphere and bulk soils) and plant compartments (root endosphere and stem endosphere). Asterisks (“*”, P < 0.05; “**”, P < 0.01; “***”, P < 0.001) above the boxes indicate a significant difference between control and treatment within a compartment, determined using a nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis test
