Composition of epiphytic bacterial communities from A. ulicifolia seeds at different taxonomic levels. A Relative abundance of the most predominant bacterial taxa at phylum and B family taxonomic levels for each sample location and stored seed lot, with less abundant taxa combined and entitled ‘others’. C Heatmap and dendrogram of the 75 most abundant genera in A. ulicifolia seed-associated bacterial communities showing clustering of stored (red) and fresh (aqua) samples
