16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence data from sunflower endosphere bacterial community.

ABSTRACT: Insights into plant endosphere bacterial diversity and exploration of their bioincentives in the formulation of biofertilizers promise to avert ecological disturbances. Here, we presented the sequence dataset of the endophytic bacterial community from the roots and stems of sunflower obtained from farmlands in Itsoseng and Lichtenburg, North West Province of South Africa, using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The climatic conditions of this region are characterized by an annual rainfall of about 600 mm and a temperature range of 3 to 21°C during winter and 22 to 34°C during summer. The genomic DNA was obtained from 1 g of each macerated sample using commercial DNA kits (DNeasy® Plant Mini kit, Qiagen, USA). The DNA was amplified through polymerase chain reaction at the V4 region using t
