Elucidating the endophytic bacterial and fungal community composition and diversity in the tree fern through meta-amplicon sequencing.

Plant tissues harbor abundant endophytes, which are crucial for plant growth. Endophytes present in , which is enriched with medicinal components, have not been isolated and characterized yet. Here we employed meta-amplicon sequencing to identify endophytic species and examined their diversity in the leaves, petioles, roots and stems of .
