Figure 5.
Mean comparison of chlorophyll contents in non-nodulated and nodulated C. glauca (A–C) and C. equisetifolia (D–F) plants under saline conditions. Each value represents the mean of plants used in each treatment (C. glauca n = 5, C. equisetifolia n = 4). For each salt concentration, different lowercase letters (a–c) indicate significant difference between control and plants inoculated separately with Frankia Ccl3 and CeD. For each condition (control/plants inoculated with each strain), different capital letters (A,B) indicate significant difference between NaCl treatments according to the Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test at P < 0.05.
