Figure 1. Effects of symbiosis on growth response on young seedlings in the absence of stress.

Figure 1

The number of plants/treatment are indicated (N = XX) below. Statistical analysis was performed using Duncan's multiple-range test. Values with the same letters are not significantly different. A) Representative photo of three day old rice seedlings (N = 30 total) that were nonsymbiotic (NS) or symbiotic (S) with SaltSym. B) Growth of rice seedlings were measured by assessing the dry biomass (mg) of (N = 10/rep) three day old rice seedling that were NS or S with the SaltSym or TempSym1. Each assay was repeated three times. Statistical analysis indicated that S plants were statistically larger (SD≤0.06; P≤0.0002) than NS plants.
