Root colonization by Serendipita indica (Si) increases growth and yield of Brachypodium distachyon (Bd) Bd21-3. a Number of full grains produced by non-colonized (control) vs. Si-colonized plants. Sample size n = 5. b Total grain weight of control vs. colonized plants. Sample size n = 5. c Number of spikelets of control vs. colonized plants. Sample size n = 5. d Shoot length of control vs. colonized plants. Sample size n = 20. The results are from three independent biological replicates that are represented by green, black, and red dots on the scatter graph, individual data values for 1a–c in Additional File 1. For a and b, 1-week-old seedlings were inoculated with 5 × 105 chlamydospores per ml and grown for approximately 3 months in F-E type LD 80 soil; for c, spikelets were counted on 2-month-old plants; for d, seedlings were grown for 3 weeks on a vermiculite:oil dri mixture (semi-sterile conditions). The significance threshold for p values, corrected for multiple testing (Benjamini-Hochberg) was set at 0.05 (*≤ 0.05) and the Si effect was calculated as ((Mean_Si-Mean_Control)/Mean_Control) × 102)
