TABLE 3.
Taxonomic composition of endophytes representing the Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota) (219 isolates; Table S3). The data shown here include two isolates that were not identifiable to the class level (incertae sedis) and are referred to as “mitosporic Ascomycota” with BLAST affinity for Ochrocornis, a genus of uncertain placement. Two Pezizomycetes isolates were from an unknown family and genus.
