Trichoderma-Arabidopsis interactions at low temperature. (A) T. atroviride (Ta) and T. virens (Tv) strains were inoculated in the direct and split system at 12 °C (scale bar corresponds to 2 cm). The phenotype was evaluated at 12 dpi. Physiological parameters were measured (B) fresh weight (n = 5), (C) primary root length (n = 15), and D) number of lateral roots per plant (n = 15); un-inoculated plants were used as a control. Barplots present mean ± SD values of dependent variables according to our experimental treatments. Letters refer to bootstrap pairwise two-sample robust tests, treatments without shared letters are significantly different.
