Figure 1.

Neighbor-joining tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences of wheat EPS strains. Sequences of closest members were obtained from database and accession numbers are mentioned. There were total of 1,408 positions in final dataset. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1,000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The evolutionary distances were computed using the maximum composite likelihood method and are in units of number of base substitutions per site.
