NMDS ordination of seed bacterial endophytes in different T-RFLP profiles from three rice cultivars with varying degree of tolerance: IR29 – salt sensitive, IC32 – moderately tolerant, IC37 – highly tolerant grown under normal condition (0 dS m^− 1), moderate salinity stress (4 dS m^− 1) and high salinity stress (8 dS m^− 1). Global R values were calculated through Analysis of Similarity (ANOSIM). P-values of ANOSIM for DdeI, HaeIII and HhaI are significant at P(%) = 0.1
