Figure Lengend Snippet: Photosynthetic performance of N. attenuata plants grown under saline stress and different light conditions treated with S. arenicola bacteria. Plant seeds were treated with bacterial suspensions ( S. arenicola strain F51, orange; S. arenicola strain X29, yellow; A. brasilense , green; and growth media Control, red), and the photosynthetic parameters were measured for two light conditions (artificial low light and natural high light). (A) F V / F M , PSII maximum quantum yield of photosystem II; (B) ETR MAX , maximum electron transport rate; (C) NPQ, non-photochemical quenching of Chlorophyll a fluorescence. Results represent the average of eight independent plant measurements. Error bars are standard deviations. Differences were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA (α = 0.05, p < 0.001). * indicates differences between conditions among treatments (α = 0.05, p < 0.001). Inbox letters highlight differences between treatments for each condition analyzed by Tukey HSD test.
