*2.3. Re-Isolation of Endophytic Fungi from Co-Culturing Seedling Tissues*

After the coculturing incubation periods (21 days), the endophytic fungi were re-isolated from the plant tissues to confirm the presence of fungi inside the plant tissues by re-inoculating the samples into the growth media (PDA: potato dextrose agar media). The results showed that the same endophytic fungi were re-isolated from the uninoculated plant tissues, which were identified based on characteristics: *C. tropicicola* (ZF01), *F. keratoplasticum* (ZF02), *F. oxysporum* (ZF03), *F. solani* (ZF04), and *T. longibrachiatum* (ZF05). All isolated endophytic fungi were confirmed as the same fungi via microscopic examination as described in Table S1 and Figure 6.
