Effect of inoculation of isolate JC-K3 on ionic uptake by plants. (A) Shoot Na⁺, (B) Root Na⁺, (C) Shoot K⁺, and (D) Root K⁺. Each value is the average of six replicates. The error bar represents the SE the average of six replicates. ^* on the bar chart of each treatment indicates the significant difference between the control group and the treatment group, ^*p < 0.05; ^**p < 0.01 (Student’s t-test). The black and white columns represent the control (Ctrl) and JC-K3 inoculated plants, respectively.
