e1“In addition, in comparison to noninoculation under DS conditions, E. pisciphila inoculation also improved the root dry weight, non-photochemical quenching values (NPQ), photochemical quenching values (qP), increased the content of related secondary metabolites including anthocyanin, polyphenol and flavonoid and enhanced the enzymatic activities related to secondary metabolism, such as cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), guaiacol peroxidase (G-POD) in sorghum seedlings.”

- Observation DSE colonized sorghum roots at 50.5%-62.5%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased sorghum height, collar diameter and shoot dry weight under both water regimes.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration under both water regimes.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased maximal PSII efficiency and actual quantum yield under both water regimes.
- Intervention effect Inoculation lowered intercellular CO2 concentration under both water regimes.
- Intervention effect Under drought stress inoculation increased anthocyanin, polyphenol and flavonoid content.
- Intervention effect Under drought stress inoculation enhanced CAD, PAL and G-POD activities.
