Fig. 3From: Taxonomic and functional diversity of cultured seed associated microbes of the cucurbit familyMaximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees of putative seed-associated endophytes cultured from cucurbits based on bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences. Bootstrap values are indicated above the branches. a Diagrammatic sketch of the taxonomy of the endophytes based on phylum and class/order. b ML tree of the endophytes from commercial cucurbit seeds (dry). c ML tree of the endophytes isolated from fresh fruit seedsBack to article page
