Pregerminated seeds were treated with water (Control), IAA pure solutions of 2 μg mL−1 (Low-IAA) and 20 μg mL−1 (High-IAA), or were inoculated with A. salinestris strains (AT18, AT19, and AT37) or A. chroococcum strains (AT25 and AT31). Values are means ± standard error of two independent experiments with three replicates (). Different letters in a column indicate significant differences between means as determined by the DGC test (). |
