Table 1. Symbiotic phenotypes induced by different htpG strains tested on Astragalus sinicus.

Nodules were harvested at 30 d postinoculation. The data represent the mean ± SE of three independent experiments. Significance of the data were analyzed using independent-samples T test. Values in each column marked by different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
