Response of root morphology traits after rhizosphere microbiota inoculation. A Microbial inoculation experiment for domesticated and wild wheat. Group 1, all selected wheat accessions without any addition of inoculum suspension. Group 2, all accessions were inoculated with corresponding inoculum suspension that was generated by mixing rhizospheric soil into TSB medium. Five replicates were set for all treatments. B Root length and root average diameter in the domesticated and wild wheat under the control and inoculation treatments. Error bars represent standard errors (n = 5). The significance of differences between group 1 and group 2 was determined by Kruskal–Wallis test. C Inoculation experiment of group 3 that only contains bacterial isolates (Microbacterium mitrae). D Root architecture traits under control and inoculation treatments were scanned and measured using Microtek ScanMaker i800 plus system. E Seedling fresh/dry weight and root morphology traits were measured. Error bars represent standard errors (n = 5). Different letters indicate significantly different groups (P < 0.05, Kruskal–Wallis test)
