Fig. 2From: Poly-γ-glutamic acid enhanced the drought resistance of maize by improving photosynthesis and affecting the rhizosphere microbial communityPhenotypes of maize with added γ-PGA under drought stress treatment with 18% PEG6000 solution. A Phenotypes of maize with added γ-PGA (10 kDa, 50 mg/L) under drought stress treatment with 18% PEG6000 solution. B Fresh weight of the leaves and roots of maize with added γ-PGA and control maize under drought stress treatment for 5 d with 18% PEG6000 solution. Values are means ± sd. Bars represent means ± sd (n = 5 repeats). Significant differences are indicated by asterisks (**, P ≤ 0.01). Bars = 5 cmBack to article page
