The most remarkable plant growth in the form of enhanced lateral root growth in case of direct CJAN1179-A. thaliana root interaction through FPI as compared to that of FCFI effect on lateral roots: FPI = fungal plug inoculation, FCFI fungal culture filtrate inoculation, dpi days post-inoculation, C control plants (plants without any fungal exposure), + = CJAN1179 (fungus with positive effect on plants), + − = PAAN1135 (fungus with no effect on plants), − = PAAN1181 (fungus with negative effect on plants). The mean differences between inoculated plants and control plants; very significant (P**) at P ≤ 0.01, significant (P*) at P ≤ 0.05 and non-significant (PNS) at P > 0.05 (shown with the legend). Mean ± SE of three independent experiments, n = 30. A complete comparison of effects of CJAN1179 on plant root, shoot and flower growth between FPI and FCFI is given in Suppl. Fig. 2
