Effect of cultivar, year, growth stage and field on fungal diversity.

<p>Boxplots of changes in diversity of <i>Ascomycota</i> and <i>Basidiomycota</i> between years, growth stages, fields and between baseline, GM and its parental variety. The baseline (all other cultivars combined, n = 16) is marked with green boxplots, the GM-variety (n = 4) with purple and the parental variety ‘Karnico’ (n = 4) with blue markers. Diversity was calculated using Shannon-Wiener index (H’) and statistical comparisons are presented in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0033819#pone-0033819-t005" target="_blank">table 5</a>.
