EWF: A. awamori-associated plants; Ctrl: control plants without A. awamori and salt stress; NaCl: sodium chloride-stressed plants without A. awamori association; EWF + NaCl: sodium chloride-stressed plants with A. awamori association; DW: dry weight. Each data point represents the mean of triplicated data with ± SE. Data that are labeled with different letters are significantly different from their respective data point at p = 0.05
