Table 2.

Photosynthetic-related parameters and pigment contents of control and endophytic bacterial-treated Chenopodium ambrosoides, Chenopodium ficifolium, and Chenopodium botrys sprouts. Data are represented by the means of at least 3 replicates ± standard deviations. Different small letter superscripts (a, b) within a row indicate significant differences between control and endophytic bacterial samples.
