Phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA) in japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. Dongjin with or without endophytic Paecilomyces formosus LWL1 under no stress (NS) and prolonged heat stress (HS)

JA was analyzed in freeze-dried samples of 30 randomly collected plants from each of three treatments replicated in three independently conducted experiments. Values of JA analysis in respective treatments were pooled together to calculate the mean±SD. For each set of treatments, the asterisk on error bar indicates significant differences between plants treated with and without P. formosus at the P<0.05 level by Student’s t-test
