Effect of the HS-26 strain on growth parameters of wheat seedling.
| Treatment | Shoot height | Root length | Dry weight | Fresh weight | Root/shoot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (cm) | (cm) | (g) | (g) | ratio | |
| CK | 40.76 ± 0.83a | 17.78 ± 1.16a | 0.30± 0.04b | 1.26 ± 0.16b | 0.1809 ± 0.011b |
| HS-26 | 40.53 ± 40.09a | 19.44 ± 0.70a | 0.38 ± 0.02a | 1.75± 0.06a | 0.2378 ± 0.011a |
Notes: values are means ± SD (n = 30). Means sharing a common letter within the same column are not significantly different at P < 0.05. “HS-26” denotes wheat seedlings treated with a suspension of strain HS-26 cells. “CK” denotes wheat seedlings treated with an equal volume of sterile water.
