(a) Barplot showing the number of significantly (Adjusted P value < 0.05) enriched and suppressed bacterial genera in boxwood shoots by anti-desiccant treatment when compared to the nontreated control. The number was based on the sum of all replicates and the total number of genera is indicated in the parenthesis for each comparison. (b and c) Venn diagram showing the number of differentially abundant bacterial genera unique to or shared among anti-desiccants for the cultivar ‘Vardar Valley’ in June and ‘Justin Brouwers’ in October. (d) Barplot showing the significant bacteria genera with log fold abundance change ≥ 0.5 or ≤ -0.5. The predominant genera are written in red. Only sampling months or anti-desiccant treatments with significant impact were included
