Pseudomonas PS01 enhances Arabidopsis thaliana germination and survival under high saline concentration. Germination rate of non-inoculated, inoculated DH5α and inoculated PS01 Arabidopsis seeds in MS ½ medium alone and with 150 mM NaCl added (a). Survival rate (%) of non-inoculated, DH5α-inoculated and PS01-inoculated plants grown on medium supplemented with different NaCl concentrations (b). Data are represented as mean ± SE of at least 30 seeds or plants per treatment. Experiments were repeated at least three times with similar results. **, ***, ****Indicates the significant difference between both treatments (control vs PS01-inoculated) at p value < 0.01, < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively
