Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect All Azospirillum strains significantly increased wheat root and shoot dry weight and root surface area.
- Intervention effect All Azospirillum strains significantly increased soybean root and shoot dry weight and root surface area.
- Association Plant response varied among Azospirillum strains.
- Observation All strains colonized roots.
- Observation Brazilian strains Sp-245 and Sp-246 had similar root colonization regardless of host plant.
- Association Colonization by other strains depended on host plant.
- Intervention effect Inoculation changed plant mineral balance inconsistently.
- Association Mineral uptake enhancement depended on strain and plant combination.
- Observation Inoculated plant minerals were distributed unevenly across tissues.
- Observation Mineral changes varied among plants within bacterial treatments.
- Mechanism The authors judge altered mineral uptake unlikely to be a general mechanism of growth improvement.
