Isolation and Characterization of Antagonistic Bacteria Paenibacillus jamilae HS-26 and Their Effects on Plant Growth

Table 3

Effect of the HS-26 strain on growth parameters of wheat seedling.

Treatment	Shoot height	Root length	Dry weight	Fresh weight	Root/shoot
	(cm)	(cm)	(g)	(g)	ratio
CK	40.76 ± 0.83a	17.78 ± 1.16a	0.30± 0.04b	1.26 ± 0.16b	0.1809 ± 0.011b
HS-26	40.53 ± 40.09a	19.44 ± 0.70a	0.38 ± 0.02a	1.75± 0.06a	0.2378 ± 0.011a

Notes: values are means ± SD (n = 30). Means sharing a common letter within the same column are not significantly different at < 0.05. “HS-26” denotes wheat seedlings treated with a suspension of strain HS-26 cells. “CK” denotes wheat seedlings treated with an equal volume of sterile water.
