Figure 1.

Maximum likelihood tree constructed with nearly full‐length 16S rRNA gene sequences of the representative rice endophytic actinobacteria (see Tables 1 and 2 for more information) and their closely related phylogenetic species. HN and LP refer to Hom Nin rice and Leum Pua glutinous rice, respectively. Bifidobacterium lemurum was the out‐group for this phylogenetic analysis. Bootstrap values (>50%) based on 1000 replications are shown at branch nodes, and scale bar represents 0.02 substitutions per nucleotide position. The code in parenthesis refers to the accession number in GenBank database
