Effects of coating strain AK-R2A1-2 T on rice growth under low temperature. (A) Comparison of rice seedling growth in response to a control (CK, R2A broth) or AK-R2A1-2 T bacterial suspension (1 × 108 cfu/mL) on water agar plates at 20 °C for 10 days. (B) Quantification of total fresh weight, shoot weight, shoot length, root number, root length, and chlorophyll contents. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean (n = 15). Asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference between the control and coating bacterial suspension (two-way ANOVA, **p < 0.01, and ****p < 0.0001). Experiments were repeated twice with similar results.
