Effects of wheat seeds with bacteria (Bacteria), wheat seeds with microcapsules lacking bacteria (M-Lack) and wheat seeds with microcapsules embedded bacteria (M-Embed). Root shoot ratio, Germination rate, Dry weight, and Fresh weight), wheat physiological indicators (Chl, POD, SOD, CAT, PRO, H2O2 and MDA), and wheat root growth (TRL, TRA, ARD, TRV, and RHL) for repeated measures ANOVA results F values. See Figure 3 for abbreviations. * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
