Biosynthesis of total sugar content, total phenolic content, and DPPH inhibition activity of soybean grown in the presence and absence of biochar and phytohormone-producing endophytic fungus, G. geotrichum, when applied individually and in combination

Treatment	Total sugar content (mg/g)	Total phenolic content (mg/g)	DPPH inhibition activity (%)
Control	0.62±0.02b	300.70±5.13b	51.28
GG	1.62±0.32a	389.20±8.30a	68.92
BC	0.62±0.15b	306.90±4.10b	55.28
BC+GG	1.71±0.33a	407.50±12.90a	73.34
BC: biochar; GG: G. geotrichum. Each value is expressed as mean±SD of six replicates from three independent experiments. The data were analyzed by ANOVA using SAS. Values in a column followed by different letters show the significant differences (P<0.05) among treatments based on DMRT
