Transcriptome modulation by endophyte drives rice seedlings response to Pb stress.

This study investigated the growth, SPAD value, chlorophyll fluorescence and transcriptome response of endophyte uninoculated and inoculated rice seedlings under Pb stress after treatment of 1 d and 5 d. Inoculation of endophytes significantly improved the plant height, SPAD value, F/F F/F and PI by 1.29, 1.
