Growth and grain yield of rice plants. (a) Average length of shoot and root of individual rice seedling grown from germinated seeds for 6 weeks. (b) Average dry weight of individual rice seedling grown from germinated seeds for 6 weeks. (c) Average number of grains harvested from individual plant after 16 weeks. UC: seeds inoculated with water, G: seeds treated with gas (N2 or air for 3 min), P: seeds treated with plasma (N2 or air plasma for 3 min), B: seeds inoculated with untreated B. subtilis CB-R05, PB: seeds inoculated with plasma treated (air plasma for 3 min) B. subtilis CB-R05. A total of 150 plants per treatment were analyzed for height and dry weight. A total 95–107 plants per treatment were analyzed for grain yield. All data points represent the mean ± standard deviation of measurements. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
