FIGURE 2

Synthetic community (SynCom) inoculation reduces the yield loss of commercial maize hybrids under DS. During DS, inoculated DKB177 and P3707VYH plants displayed higher (A) yield per plant (3.93× and 3.45×, respectively), (B) number of kernels per plant (3.87× and 3.85×, in that same order) and (C) number of kernel rows per ear (42 and 59%, respectively) under DS. Additional yield results are shown in Supplementary Figure 5. Values expressed as the mean ± SD. n ≥ 7 plants per treatment. WW, well watering; DS, drought stress; SD, standard deviation. **P ≤ 0.01 and ***P ≤ 0.001.
