Table 1.

Dry weight of plants expressed as percentage relative to plants inoculated with the wild-type strain (100%).

Strain	Dry weight % (relative to wild-type strain)
tatC	77.59 ± 6.39	∗∗
2707/0970	86.82 ± 7.67	ns
2707	87.33 ± 4.24	ns
0970	103.11 ± 7.46	ns
Non-inoculated	66.43 ± 6.08	∗∗∗

All experiments were performed in triplicate of 10 plants each. Asterisks indicate significant differences in dry weight to plants inoculated with the wild-type strain in Student’s t-tests. ^∗∗Indicate significant differences at p < 0.01, ^∗∗∗p < 0.001, ns, no significant differences.
