Attachment and colonization of bacteria and phytohormone production. (a) Comparison of bacterial attachment on rice seeds by SEM analysis. Bacteria were treated with micro DBD air plasma for 3 min. Sample observation was repeated three times and performed under 1,000× magnification. UC: seeds inoculated with water. (b) Confocal microscope images showing the colonization of gfp-tagged bacteria in rice root. Tip and middle part of root cross-section were observed. (c) Concentration of IAA and SA hormones was measured in rice seedlings grown from seeds inoculated with water (UC), untreated bacteria (B), and plasma treated (PB, air plasma for 3 min) bacteria.
