+ AG8 only	145.42 ± 10.79 c	439.92 ± 38.38 b	16.08 ± 0.32 b
+ AG8 + seed treated with Janthinobacterium	197.48 ± 12.65 b	596.75 ± 47.48 ab	17.04 ± 0.32 b

“+”: with, “−”: without. The values are means ± standard error of six replicates. The experiments were repeated three times with similar results (Additional file: Table S3). Different letters indicate significant differences (p ≤ 0.05, Tukey’s test)
