Table 1.

Demonstrate the effect of heat stress on shoot length (SL), root length (RL), fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) in soybean plants with and without inoculation of SA1 at different time point (0, 5 and 10 Days. Each data point is the mean of three replicates. Error bars represent standard errors. The bars represented with different letters are significantly different from each other as evaluated by DMRT analysis
