Endophytic Fungus Aspergillus japonicus Mediates Host Plant Growth under Normal and Heat Stress Conditions

Figure 4

Effect of A. japonicus on the concentration of (a) CAT and (b) AAO in soybean and sunflower seedlings grown at 25°C and 40°C. One enzyme unit was calculated as the amount of enzyme required to decrease the absorbance at 240 nm for CAT and 265 nm for AAO by 0.05 units. For each set of treatment, the different letter indicates significant differences at p (< 0.05) as estimated by Tukey HSD test. The bars represent SE of triplicate data (each replicate consisted of 9 seedlings).
