e1“When compared with non-inoculated seedlings under both WW and DS conditions, E. pisciphila-inoculated sorghum had greater plant height, collar diameter, shoot dry weight, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (g s ), transpiration rate (E), maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) and actual quantum yield (PSII), and lower intercellular CO 2 concentration (Ci).”
