Values are the mean of n = 5; Data was expressed with standard error of means, The significant difference among different PSRB strain and control plants was expressed as different letters by using Duncan’s multiple range test, sharing the same letter do not differ significantly at the means of (P < 0.05). Symbols: L.R: length of root; L.S = length of shoot; D.W.R = dry weight of root; D.W.S = dry weight of shoot.
