Germination data for inoculation experiments involving Ficus seeds and fungal taxa isolated from these seeds

This dataset contains seed germination data from two inoculation experiments involving two fig species, Ficus beddomei and Ficus callosa, found in the tropical forests of the Western Ghats, India, and fungal taxa that were isolated from them. The file "first_inoculation_expt_Nov_2025" contains germination data for screening of select fungal taxa for their effects on the two fig species. The file "serial_inoculation_expt_Nov_2025" contains germination data from a serial inoculation experiment involving successive inoculation of seeds with an endophytic followed by a pathogenic fungal taxon.
