Figure 4
Germination of rice seeds after inoculation with plasma treated bacteria. (a) Percentage of daily seed germination. (b) The percentage of seed germination after 9 days. (c) Length of primary roots grown from germinated seeds. Each analysis for germination percentage included 50 seeds per treatment, and analysis was repeated three times. Total 90 seeds were used for measuring primary root length. All data points represent mean ± standard deviation of replicate measurements. **p < 0.01. UC: seeds inoculated with water, G: seeds treated with gas (N2 or air for 3 min), P: seeds treated with plasma (N2 or air plasma for 3 min), B: seeds inoculated with untreated B. subtilis CB-R05, PB: seeds inoculated with plasma treated (air plasma for 3 min) B. subtilis CB-R05.
