Abstract

Here, we report the results of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of bacterial endophytes from parasitized and unparasitized samples of the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and samples of its associated plant parasite field dodder (Cuscuta campestris), collected from one location in Fresno County, California (August 2017).
