Seed biopriming for plant growth promoting assay and antagonistic effects of Fusarium head blight using culturable bacterial isolates. (A) Bar graph (mean ± s.d) of shoot and root length of one hundred and seventy cultured bacterial isolates relative to hydro-primed seeds (control) tested for plant growth promoting functions. Values for each biological replicate (sixteen biological replicates/treatment, see methods) were divided by the mean value of the control (mean normalized) and plotted. Red asterisks depict bacterial isolates with greater than 10% increase in both root and shoot length (B) Antifungal effects of bacterial isolates on the mycelium growth of F. graminearum. Note that #60, #63, #124 and #126 corresponded to Hv-60, Hv-63, Hv-124 and Hv-126 in Fig. 3A
