Total protein content in japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. Dongjin with or without endophytic Paecilomyces formosus LWL1 under no stress (NS) and prolonged heat stress (HS)

Total protein content was analyzed in fresh samples of 30 randomly collected plants from each of three treatment replicates from three independently conducted experiments. Values of total protein content in the 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 or ^** P<0.01 level by Student’s t-test
