Data indicate the means ± SDs from three biological replicates, and 12 A. thaliana plantlets were determined per replicate. Different uppercase letters within a column indicate significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) according to Welch's t test. Control, A. thaliana plantlets cultured independently without bacterial inoculation.
