Table 3.
Photosynthetic parameters of two wheat cultivars (C) in response to microbial treatment (M), salt stress (S), and their interaction.
| Treatment | Photosynthetic Parameters | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | gs | Ci | E | WUE | |
| C | 0.60 ns | 2.64 ns | 0.00 ns | 1.67 ns | 10.43 ** |
| M | 25.29 *** | 2.65 ns | 18.69 *** | 6.53 ** | 73.30 *** |
| S | 258.58 *** | 117.77 *** | 0.00 ns | 138.18 *** | 9.66 ** |
| C × M | 8.36 *** | 1.67 ns | 3.54 * | 0.39 ns | 1.97 ns |
| C × S | 4.42 * | 2.90 ns | 1.46 ns | 2.14 ns | 1.23 ns |
| M × S | 13.63 *** | 2.92 * | 8.17 *** | 6.41** | 22.59 *** |
| C × M × S | 2.18 ns | 2.04 ns | 1.39 ns | 0.78 ns | 2.42 ns |
The values in the table represent three factorial ANOVA results for the photosynthetic parameters: net photosynthesis (A), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 (Ci), transpiration (E), and water use efficiency (WUE) under microbial treatment (M), salt stress (S), cultivar (C) and their interaction (C × M, C × S, M × S and C × M × S). *, **, ***, and ns denotes that the mean difference is significant at the p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001 and non-significant levels, respectively.
