Effects ofExiguobacteriumR2567 on the tillering of wild-type and mutant rice during SL biosynthesis and signaling. The results are confirmed in two experiments with independent inoculations; each genotype included 24 individual plants. The sloped arrows from mock to inoculated plants were to show the direction of tiller number changes. The bars represent the standard errors. Statistical significances between the bacterial treatment and uninoculated mock control are indicated by∗∗∗p< 0.001,∗∗p< 0.01,∗p< 0.05, and ns, not significant. See alsoFigure S2.
