Aspergillus flavus Promoted the Growth of Soybean and Sunflower Seedlings at Elevated Temperature

Figure 5

Effect of A. flavus on chlorophyll, shoot and root weights of soybean and sunflower seedlings. (a) represents the total chlorophyll contents of soybean seedlings at 25°C and 40°C; (b) represents total chlorophyll contents of sunflower seedlings at 25°C and 40°C; (c) represents shoot dry weight of soybean seedlings at 25°C and 40°C; (d) represents shoot dry weight of sunflower seedlings at 25°C and 40°C; (e) represents root dry weight of soybean seedlings at 25°C and 40°C; (f) represents root dry weight of sunflower seedlings at 25°C and 40°C; Ctrl = A. flavus-free seedlings; EuR-6 = A. flavus-associated seedlings. Data are means of 3 replicates with standard error. Different litters are significantly different (p < 0.05) as estimated by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test.
