Fig. 6From: Enhancement of drought tolerance in Triticum aestivum L. seedlings using Azospirillum brasilense NO40 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia B11Effect of bacterial inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense NO40 (B1) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia B11 (B2) on (a): the contents of free proline in roots; (b): in shoots of the 15-day-old Triticum aestivum L. seedlings (cv. G9) grown in sandy soil under unstressed and drought-stressed conditions (7 days of water withholding). Error bars represent the standard deviation between 3 replica. Treatments with identical letters are not significant at P ≤ 0.01.
