Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Endophytic bacteria increased biomass production of host plants subjected to different heavy metals.
- Association Stress mitigation by the bacteria was similar among plant groups except non-accumulating plants, which benefited most.
- Association Host identity and heavy metal concentration seem to influence the effect of the bacteria.
- Intervention effect Bacterial consortia gave the greatest benefit to host plants under heavy metal stress.
