(A) Root and shoot growth of 10 day old IR-64 seedlings under different treatments (E−S−; E+S−; E−S+; E+S+ where E +/E−: Presence/absence of Fusarium sp. and S+/S−: Presence/absence of salinity stress (150 mM NaCl). (B) Phenotypic growth of 50 day old IR-64 plants as influenced by endophyte colonization under control (left) and under 4 ds/m stress (right). (C) Root and shoot growth of 50 day old IR-64 plants subjected to different treatments (E−S−; E+S−; E−S+; E+S+ where E+/E−: Presence/absence of Fusarium sp. and S+/S−: Presence/absence of salinity stress (4 ds/m). Line on bars indicates SEm (±). One-way ANOVA was done for root and shoot separately. Means with dissimilar letters are significant at P < 0.05 (Tukey).
