From: Metal resistant PGPR lowered Cd uptake and expression of metal transporter genes with improved growth and photosynthetic pigments in Lycopersicon esculentum under metal toxicity

Figure 2

Effect of M1 (109 cells/ml) and M2 (109 cells/ml) on (A) Shoot metal uptake (B) Root metal uptake (C) Heavy metal tolerance index in 10-days old L. esculentum seedlings under Cd stress. Data is presented as means of 3 replicates ± S.D (standard deviation) and HSD values. F ratio values, * indicates significance at P ≤ 0.05 and ** indicates significance at P ≤ 0.01). Different letters on the graphs indicate that mean values of treatments are significantly different at p < 0.5 according to Tukey’s multiple comparison test (CN-Control, Cd-Cadmium, M1- Pseudomonas aeruginosa, M2- Burkholderia gladioli).
